Heater Hose Coupling: Installation

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2002 Lincoln Blackwood. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
  1. Clean tubes and lubricate with MERPOL® meeting Ford specification ESE-M99B144-B or plain water. Install a new coupling retainer, spacer and lubricated "O" ring seals into quick disconnect coupling housing. See Fig 1.
  2. Push heater hose with a quick disconnect coupling onto tube. Make sure coupling is fully engaged by lightly pulling on heater hose.
