I AM TAKING THE TERMOSTATE OF MY CRX DX 1989 I TOOK 5 BOLTS THAT HOLD THE TERMOSTATE ONE ON TOP ITS LONG, ONE ON THE BOTTOM IS LITTLE BIT SHORT THAN THE ONE ON TOP AND 2 ON THE SIDE THAT HOLD THE CAP OF THE TERMOSTATE PLUS ONE MORE THAT HOLDS A WIRE.

NOW THE TERMOSTATE IS LOOSE BUT STILL HAS 3 HOSES , 2 HOSES HAVE CLAMPS THAT WILL NOT MOVE AND I DONT WANT TO CUT THEM

I WAS TINKING TO PUT SOME W4 OIL TO MAKE THEM COME OFF BUT THE HOSE BIHIND THE TERMOSTATE DON'T HAVE A CLAMP , I WAS THINKING IT MAYBE ITS ATTACHED TO THE TERMOSTATE BUT I NOT SURE IF IT IS , AND DON'T SEE A CLAMP .


MAYBE I DON'T LOOK GOOD??

THE TERMOSTATE IS NOW LOOSE I TOOK AL THE BOLTS OFF ,

BUT STILL HAS 3 HOSES , HOW CAN I TAKE THE HOSES OFF ???
BEST WAY TO TAKE THEM TO SAVE TIME , ANY HELP WILL BE GREAT

PLEASE REPLY IF YOU CAN HELP ME OR HAVE AND IDEA THANKS

 

Take a pair of pliers and squeeze the tabs on the clamps together. The clamps will loosen and you will be about to slide the hose off.. Might have to twist the hose to break the seal. Don't cut ****, there is no reason to.

 

I USED THE PLIERS BUT THE HOSES STILL VERY HARD TO COME OFF I MIGHT HAVE TO USE SOME W4 OIL

ANY ONE THAT TOOK THE TERMOSTATE OFF BEFORE?

I NEED TO FIX THIS CRX 1989 DX SO I CAN SELL IT RUNNIG
