Hello, where my heater hose meets the firewall the plastic quick disconnect coupling has broken, about half of it remains stuck in the metal tube that connects to the heater core, is there a way to remove it without having to do it from the cab? or do you you have any suggestions on how to go about this ? Thank you - Briana

Take your time and go through this thread on deleting the coupler using only generic heater hoses ($1/foot at local auto parts store).

PS: Do NOT drive the car until you fix this issue, unless you want to do a head gasket job.

Your car does not have a turbo, but the method suggested by j-dawg in this post is arguably a better way to go.

Arguably ... :)
