heater hose

Can someone please direct me in the right direction of how to replace these one of the hoses cracked

Which one?

Heater hoses just run right from the alt. bracket to the heater core at the firewall. Should be hose clamps at both ends, a simple swap and a system top-up and bleed.

I always do a spill-free job when servicing something higher up in the cooling system. I remove the rad cap and put my hand over it, and take compressed air, and remove the bleder screw and put it to the hole. It will force the coolant into the overflow tank temporarily, and when you're done, go the opposite way with it and it will put the coolant right back in the radiator.

Okay.. reason I'm asking is because the back part doesn't wanna come off. I've tried using pliers and other stuff. It just doesn't wanna budge it's the bottom hose to the heater core

Usually I use pliers opened wide to grip onto the hose right where it connects, and lightly grip it and turn back and forth to break the surfaces loose. If you think it would take too much force to get it unstuck safely, get a curved pick tool and get under the hose to separate it.

That's exactly what I did. Thank you.
