Pull the hose and make sure that the heater core connection is in good condition. It needs to be clean and pretty round. If the hose has quite a bit of deposits or is brittle around the inside, you may want to replace it. The hose needs to be quite flexible to make a good seal. If it's more than a few years old you might want to replace it anyway
