Stuck AT cooler hoses
Hi,
The AT cooler hoses are completely seized on at the radiator end. It looks like there are metal threads that are somehow part of the radiator bottom (which is an original BEHR and is plastic). The hose couplings are seized onto these threaded attachments. I have sprayed them liberally with penetrating oil, tapped the joints quite a bit to make some vibration to loosen stuff, driven the car so it gets temperature variations, all with no luck. I dont want to break the plastic on the radiator, or ruin the metal connection that the hose screws onto... Any suggestions? Thanks, JMH
