heater core hoses replaced
I just replaced the heater core hoses on my car. the ones that go from the core to the water pump. it isnt that hard once you get the old hoses out(i cut them with a razor blade). the wires to the computer that usually go over the metal, i moved and put them behind the pipe.
I was just wondering if the wires will be alright behind those pipes on the hoses, the smaller wires right before the heater core?
Thanks

Did you replace the hoses only? Or the entire heater pipe/hoses assembly?
I ask, because I recently did all hoses in my 94Z, and I tried to get the entire assembly out, but decided it was easier to cut the clamps off [Dremel], and do each hose still in the car..
Am interested if it can be done tho, and how hard it was?[the way I saw it, the alternator, PS pump,and psgr side accessory bracket were all in the way..]
Did you have stock 'factory' hoses on there that you removed?
The heater core and WP ends are clamped on, but the 'pipe' assembly ends are clamped more like a hi pressure AC or PS[hydraulic] hose that had to be Dremeled off...[you mentioned just cutting em off with a razor?]
As far as the wires, you shouldn't have a prob unless they are stretched or pinched.. the heat from the heater hoses won't hurt em[exhaust maybe tho]

i did the whole assembly, all i took out was the fans, alternator, belt, and the intake. the metal part was the hardest to get out, so i cut the hoses immediatley after the metal on both sides, that made it a lot easier. it was still pretty hard getting it back in though. there is like a 3 in. space under the ps resivoir, and i just worked the hoses through there. after that it wasnt that hard.
