But it's a ***** getting those hoses off, if they haven't been removed in a decade or so.

I don't suggest pulling off the heater hoses at the firewall, as shown in the video. The pipes can deform very easily and cause you a lot of grief. Pull them off where they connect to the motor instead.

I don't know about that, if they are bad they need to be replaced. But I'm a do it right the first time kinda guy so if your trying to save a little coin in the short term, maybe.
