    Damn it!!! ok guys i need ya help

    in the process of removing my rear motor mount today, i had to remove the first heater hose, and the hose was stuck so i used pliers, but didnt know the strength of the hose fitting was so damn soft, u can say i crimped the s.o.b, i kinda got it back right but it leaks like shit now, is this part replacable, or am i screwed, dont have pic right now but to get a good pic in your head its the two ports where the heater hoses go in the back by the rear mount

    I feel your pain, I've smashed those too. I was able to reform mine, though.

    Try taking the hose off again and see if you can make it the correct shape. If not, you will have to replace either the heater core (which is where one those hoses go) or the valve.

      awww shit... i reshaped it to where a deep socket 10 mm would slide thru it easy, it there a certain type of tightner i should put on it, i put on the one that you squeeze with pliers and opens, then when you let go of it it tightens, would the flat head 8mm screw in one work better???

        The screw in ones will work but don't over tighten it otherwise it will deform again.
        For those particular hoses I would use the original "squeeze and clamp" ones.

        If at first you don't succeed, Try again. Don't give up too easily, persistance pays off in the end.

                get a pipe just small enough to fit into the brass fitting that's crimped. You must open up the crimped section before putting this pipe / extension in. All that's left is the JB Weld. Let it cure and you have yourself a connection that won't leak... maybe.
