Tool works exactly how it should, took me 5 minutes to drill and tap new threads. Worked perfect and was fast.

I received this tool last week and have already used it twice to remove broken heater hose quick dis-connects from Chevy 5.7 engine manifolds with the manifolds still installed. It works flawlessly! In both cases, all I had to do was drive the splined bit in about halfway, then twist it out with 3/8″ drive breaker bar and 12 point 5/8″ socket…Once broken threaded piece was removed, I used the included tap with same breaker bar and socket to chase threads clean, then I installed new fitting…Tips on use: A. Use 6″ long 3/8″ drive extension and 5’8″ socket to hammer black splined bit in about half way so you don’t expand hole too much and break/crack manifold…..B. If splined bit starts to spin, just hammer it in a little more…In neither case did I need to use the included reverse pilot drill bit, but I’m certain it would have worked just as well.

This is just what is needed to remove the parts left in the block when the OEM fitting breaks off. (It will break off)

I was able to do the repair on engine in a short amount of time. I used a brass barb fitting as replacment and connect the heater hose the traditional way with a screw clamp. Its been a month now and absolutely no trouble with leaks on my 1993 chev s10 with 4.3 engine. After using these tools they still look like new and I will be using them again on my Astro van that has the same problem.

I would give this tool set a 10 star if I could. This is the only tool to use to get broken couplers out. I tried for hours with a broken nipple remover then used the reverse bit and thread chaser had the broken part out and treads chased and new coupler installed in 5 . Not only is this the best tool set for the removal of broken heater hose couplers on GM engines but the only one to use could not work better. Don’t waste your money on any other tool buy this one and problem solved. You will be happy with it too

Used this to fix a leaking heater hose quick connect fitting coming out of the crossover pipe on a 98 Chevy K1500 with a 6.5L T diesel engine. Fitting snapped off, tap in extractor tool did not because fitting was crumbling but the drill bit worked perfectly. Was able to drill it out and re-tap threads. Repaired with replacement nipple from Napa and a short piece of heater hose.

Ok look. I went an purchased JUST the “black” one as shown in this kit. All it did was break the busted connector into more pieces.When I got this, kit with the Reverse cutting bit and the thread-chaser I was done in 30 minutes.You MUST be careful and do it right.After I used the cut bit down to the base (as the directions say!), I then used a 1/2 ratchet, with a 16mil socket and slowly ran the the thread chaser down, then back up, then down again until it rolled smooth in.Cleaned the area and the new connector went in perfectly. Leak checked good. But yeah – 15 – 30 minutes.This kit is to be used when the old connector is just too sealed in to use ONLY the black tool.

The Lisle 62450 heater hose quick connect removal tool worked absolutely perfect. I was amazed how easy it was to use. I would recommend this removal kit to anyone.When using these make sure to use a 1/2″ socket set, extension bar, and 1/2″ breaker bar. Hammer the removal tool (colored black) all the way in. It worked perfect. I did not even need to use the drill bit or tap threader.The heater hose quick connect was in pretty bad shape. When it broke off I was panicked. I found this tool on Amazon. It works exactly as it says.I was very pleased with the seller too. I got my set 3 days earlier than expected.
