Hi,

There is a rear heater core. There should be steel lines that end in rubber. Where did they break?

I attached a pic below showing the rear core and hoses. Let me know if that is where you see the problem and what I can do to help.

Take care,

Joe

Hi,

You really don't need the rear heater core. Without seeing what came apart, you could simply disconnect the good hose and pipe the two together. Just make sure the hoses are secured in a way to prevent them from damage. Also, I would also use high-pressure hose clamps because of the location.

If you could upload a couple of pics so I can see what you are dealing with. Hopefully, I can give you some ideas for fixes.

Take care,

Joe
