oh snap i did this!
copied from thread
alright there was more pics of the **** corroded but i guess they got deleted but i cleaned the corrosion off then began to take it apart
TYPICALLY THE FITTING WILL BREAK SO BE CAREFUL AND PATIENT!
got the fitting and hose off without breaking the fitting :success: had to use a razor blade to cut into the hose a bit for it to slide off easy but got it done now just gotta get a new fitting and hose and put it on and top of the fluid :yeah:

after walking to oreillys and coming back the guy gave me the wrong stuff so i went back (after i had a ride) and exchanged out the hose and whatnot and picked up the fitting i ordered but before i left i test fitted it on the hose and it was to small so the guy there (different dude then before thankfully) went and grabbed a different fitting that fit perfectly and was a hell of a lot more help then the other dude (maybe bc he had prior experience in gm Chrysler etc auto fields.) he completely understood what i was doin he was like so your getting rid of the crappy quick connect and just running a hose and i was like ya! and he was more then helpful
alright so heres for future reference if someone needs to know what to get idk if it varies between obs's but its probably different for nbs and etc.
but here is what i got
i read multiple different sources that said the fitting was 5/8s by 1/2 well that proved to be wrong well at least for me it did
prt numbers are for oreillys
i got a murray ac fitting 3/4 Inch Hose X 1/2 Inch Mp (prt number 84733)
guy gave me 2 ft of 3/4 inch hose
bought some clamps
wrapped the threads of the fitting with some of that Teflon white thread tape screwed it in then just connected the hose at the manifold then the heater core and tightened the clamps. I ended up pouring a little water into the overflow to be safe since a little fluid dripped out as i was removing the old one!
