Can anyone tell me how to get the heater hose off that goes from the water valve into the back of the engine. The clamp is impossible to undo b/c of the cramped space back there. Also, anyone know where I can get a hose cheap?

try jacking up the engine from the bottom to get more clearance of the firewall if not your gonna need a elbowed socket wrench... good luck

Thanks for the suggestion. Jacking up the engine sounds like a lot of work.

no itll give you a few inches just make sure you dont put the jack on the oil pan or the transmission pan or you might pierce it but this will give you a few inches... good luck

I had a professional replace mine. He replaced two of the three hoses that run to the heater control valve. I bought the parts from Steve @ Carson Toyota. They are a sponsor here.

Even with the new hoses I think it is still leaking a bit. I am going to have to have it looked at again. Glad you don't have to replace your headgasket.

Thanks for your input. Glad is right.
