How To Disconnect Heater Hose On Ford 2.0L

- In this video I show how to disconnect and reconnect a Ford heater hose used on 2012-2016 Ford Focus 2.0L and 2013-2016 Ford Escape 2.0L Ecoboost. The process is very simple once you understand how the coupling that connects the heater hose works. First turn the two tangs on the ring, as shown in the video, counter clockwise. This unlocks the coupling. Once the coupling is unlocked you can then disconnect the heater hose. To reconnect, first turn the two tangs on the ring clockwise until the tang with an arrow on it lines up with the symbol on the black plastic portion of the housing as show in the video. Then reconnect the coupling. Be sure the divot on the male end lines up with the symbol on the coupling. Push the hose on until the coupling snaps into place. Give the hose a light tug (don't break anything in the process) to insure it is locked securely.
The special tool used in the video is a Lisle 39200. You can find it by clicking the ling below.:

Warning: Whenever servicing the cooling system, disconnecting hoses, the cooling system should be totally cool and depressurized. Injury can occur if care isn't taken. Please refer to your repair manual for information on how to safely cool and depressurize your cooling system.
Warning!! Be sure the cooling system is totally cool and depressurized before disconnecting heater hose. Hot coolant under pressure could spray onto you causing personal injury if you don't. I'd suggest letting the vehicle cool down, with the engine off, for a few hours before opening the cooling system. I'd also suggest carefully opening the radiator cap to relieve any pressure that may be in the system after the engine is cool. (Place a rag over the radiator cap before removing it. Remove it slowly and carefully. Do not allow the cap to blow off and possibly get hot coolant on you.) Once the system is cool and depressurized then you can perform you repair. Use your repair manual for further information on whatever repair you are performing.

Great help to understand this coupling. You the man. I reinstalled one of these hoses and it suddenly came off after a month. Glad I can understand it better and fix it for good. We appreciate you!
These simple videos are great learning experiences. When I was young, none of this was available. Thank you for sharing.
You're very welcome!
These connectors are a pain. I always have to come back to these vids for it
you saved me so much headache with this video. KEITH IS THAT DUDE!!!
Getting ready to replace my heater hose and this video helped, thank you
Glad it helped
Perfectly clear video with great instruction. However doing exactly as you show - I can’t for the life of me manage to get the quick connect to “click” into the grooves on my Land Rover LR2. There’s a little bit of corrosion on the inlet pipe that I’m sanding off but even that doesn’t seem to help. What am I missing??
Thanks mate, I was struggling with this clip on a Xc90 Volvo , and didn't have the replacement clip, many thanks.
Sweet! I didn't know Volvo used these. Great information!
SERIOUSLY, thank you SO much!
Thank you so much for the video of all the ones I watched this one was the only one that helped
The Ford engineer that dreamed up this "Better Idea" must have came over from VW. Jeeez.
Great video and fantastic explanation. Five stars
Thank you kindly!
This was extremely helpful. Thank you very much!
Glad it helped!
Thanks. That's exactly what I needed.
👍
Thank you sir great job
Great video
Excellent video
Nicely made video - needed it - thanks
Glad it was helpful!
Thanks for saving the day
Glad to help!
Excellent tutorial!!!
Thank you!
This fitting is leaking and I was told there’s an o ring that is a likely culprit. However mine has no o ring. So I’m wondering where does it go?
Great help works on a 2.3 rs too!!
Mine leaks can I just replace the oring inside ,,,but I can't see the o ring ??
Excellent job 😅
Tangs are cool!
So are doohickies and thingamajigers!
This fitting is the worst thing ever invented.
Thank you so MUCH
Thanks for the video!!
sick! and this is the same way it connects into the fire wall huh??
Yes, but I have problems in the fire wall, could you separete in that place the hose? I cant
You right there have a new one , witch means good luck reomving an old one full with dust and dirt , and in time the plasic becomes brittle and will crack at excesive force ,witch is necesary for removale because is stuck in position
Thank you for this video very helpful!!!
Glad it was helpful!
Really Great video can you purchase just the end tab alone or the twist lock end as i broke mine on a new hose wish i would have watched this video first...lol
Not that I am aware of.... Sorry about that.
Im doing that and I cant pull the hose wich goes to the calefaction. I turned the lock but the hose feels like welded. It's very tight
I'm sorry your having a problem. They can be very challenging sometimes.
Perfect ❤
Trying to replace these on my Volvo c30 what a pain
thanks!!
You're welcome!
Thanks. I've seen these but haven't had to touch one yet. They look slightly easier than the previous style, but not by much. I really wish Ford would quit using these "quick connects". Their only purpose is to save time during assembly, but I haven't met a wrench turner yet that prefers these over hose clamps.
They look easier...but far from it. I know I probably made it look easy but when its between and engine and the fire wall with an expansion valve sitting just a 1/2" above it.. It's horrible.. My first one was a nightmare.
where do I get this tool?
Link in description.
Does it have o ring
It's inside the hose end.
Hey I really need to ask you a question about my car but how do I get up with you please help!!!
Well, right here is just fine. What's your question?
He said Tang I wish I had some Tang on the side 😂
They sell it at the grocery store. I used to drink it as a kid.
