Heater Hose Fitting O-ring - Stumped!

Post by 96LSS »

Well, I replaced my coolant elbow with the "help" component and figured I'd change the o-rings for the heater hose fittings while I was at it - wrong! These don't appear to be a standard size - I've been to several auto parts stores and one size will leak (too small) and the next size up won't fit into the bore. Is there anyplace besides the dealer to get these?

Thanks,
Jim

The Dorman HELP Viton O-ring kits have O-rings that fit. You'll need to buy 2 kits.
