Heater core flush
Posted: Sat Jan 13, 2018 8:49 am
I did a heater core flush the other day, was an easy job
I got a washer brass end from a plumber on my job site, and a two sided 6ft female hose a crappy tire
-Basically remove "no step"air filter hose
-losen off overflow clamps,and flip that tank over (make sure no pressure inside)
-bring water control Valve up and remove the 2 rear hoses
- I put the valve on the top hose (so goes backward flush ) and the lower 5/8 hose into a bucket
-the double female hose I connected to my garden hose
- my brass piece had an on off on it so I could control pressure from hood area,...
There was a lot of junk in the core, super easy job, taking your time took like 45mins - 1hr
I switched sides to flush both ways, but a clean core makes a difference,not night and day (depending on how plugged ones core is ) but heat was better,
This was the bras piece I used to plug into my rubber 5/8 hoses to core, so I was able to control and bump water int core to shake up dirt,,,
