Thanks

Will this technique work on a 2015?

Hey, just wanted to say thanks!! This video allowed me to fix my son's university car, and saved mexa lot of time and money! Great video THANKS

Today I replaced the heater core on my 2007 Equinox. I follow your video all the way up to the removal of the brake pedal bracket. I didn't do that. Instead, I took the nut off of the brake pedal that connects to the master plunger and took all the nuts and bolt off the bracket. It alowed me to move the brake pedle out of the way and gave me wiggle room to replace the core.I cut the tube's 3 inches from the core surface. It went smoothly but was a 4 hour job! Thanks for the post!!!!

Got to where I should be and there is a plate in the way I can’t get heater core out

How do I get the brake pedal booster clip back on

감사합니다 👍

I have a sonic that wont shut off till you cycle the key 7 times or so. Not every time tho

I would suspect the fuel cut off activated due to the accident. Just a hunch.

What was the problem?

I love that you guys kept all the yelling and screaming in and didn't cut that part out. That was my favorite part of this whole video was you laying in your back under there just grunting and yelling 😂

Thank you so much for this video. A simple straight forward way to get the job done.

I should have removed that entire brake pedal bracket like you did, hopefully I didn't bang up the heater core too much. You didn't have to flare or put a bead on the pipe? Just 3/4" hose to connect the pipes and that's it? You used a whole mess of clamps but hey, if it doesn't leak it doesn't leak. I should have watched your video all the way through before doing this.

Guess you can blow out the core with air from the engine bay

🤣

Any chance you guys can describe how you got that brake pedal bracket out? I have an 06, too, but can not seem to get it out. I have the five nuts off and all the other bits. Pushed the bolts into the firewall but I still have no visible way to get the bracket out of there

Nah I think I will try stop leak first.

Thanks so much!

Great info, very clear. But mostly I LOVE your presentation. You got my vote (subscribed) - Keep at it!

Great video! Thanks.😃

That’s my name

Are you kidding me man??? All that just to replace the heater core??. Id rather just take the whole core and tubes and slide them in thru the firewall!

I have a 2006, unfortunately 05-06 have have the brake bracket that has a bracket that hangs down (in the way of the heater core) that the sensors are attached to. How did you get the brake bracket off with the steering column bracket on top of it? i am stuck here!

Very well explained,, gracias 👍

Nice job. I feel for you.

Are they doing this in the snow ?!❄️

How did you pull the gas and brake bracket ...having trouble with getting mine out

Dont have to take brake out. Don't need to bleed break. Dont need to loosen bracket. Disengage brake pedal from the brake pedal position sensor fork. Push the physical brake pedal to the left and push gently right on the plastic fork in order to clear the sensor. Then same thing for the brake rod. Push right on the rod and left on brake pedal to clear and bam. Push brake pedal all the way up to steering wheel. Super easy and accessible.

Thank you so much for tip and love ur work and understanding the work and patient and thank you again

And the people that design these cars have the audacity to call themselves "Engineers" There should be laws about making a service item like a heater core so difficult to remove. Some vehicles its as simple as removing the glove box and pulling it through there. I used to be a Chevy guy, I think all North American cars are junk now. Good video for doing the job without removing the entire dash.

If only lost heat and no leaks, back flush core first, if any crud comes out, hook back up and test for heat.. mine had crud in it, even after a core swap in this manner. add filter to top hose or heater hoses.. loosening brake booster studs and pressing on pedal helps clear, and testing after hoses in place, plug in gas pedal and bring up to temp before covering back up so not doing this twice.. plus clamps may tighten further..

Replaced heater core in my 07 equinox but now it won't start ..all lights appear on dash everything else works but nothing when I turn the key.

Extremely Helpful Tips: Taking off the brake is not needed (removing accelerator is necessary) Before cutting out the old core, lift the car and open up driver side brake bleeder and depress brake peddle. (be sure to have someone pour brake fluid or use a kit) While peddle is depressed, make a mark on the pipes where to cut in relation to the brake peddle, cut and then pull out heater core. You should have about 4-5" pipe left on the heater core. Then cut the pipes on the new core to the exact length where you cut. Apply gasket sealant for water pumps (only use sealant made for water pumps). Apply it onto the pipes and pipes to the new core and slide hoses and clamp it and then install the core. (You'll have to depress the brake peddle to install new heater core). This will save you at least an hour of labor.

8:04 was where I was feeling defeated, but no one told the brake pedal assembly that a pry bar was gonna be involved... Har Har Har...

It's a great video I have an o6 equinox and I have to do the heater core I was going to do the long way then found this video saved me at least 8 hrs of work thanks for making this easy way to do this

I am trying to do this same process but I am lost at the plastic I can see pipes but can't get plastic off to get heater core out mine is an 05 lt

If you watched my video on doing this I really didn't show anything about the tubes and cutting them but you don't have to double clamp it if you use a hose that is a little too tight to fit you put dishwashing liquid on the inside of the hose and on the outside of the tubes when it goes together you only need one clamp on each end and dishwashing liquid tends to turn into glue when it starts to dry it will never leak

Love it! Straight to the point. Non of that beating around the bush talk 💯

Mr. Nelson, great video it was great to hear and see you. I am sure you will get many likes and people will learn from your video. Thank you and great work.
