Hello, It is now time for me to replace all hoses and the heater control valve....all, if not most, have been in place for 47 years.
Looks like all the hose clamps will have to be cut off with a Dremel tool as the rust has taken over the screw heads. I put an adjustable wrench on the stem fitting on the heater control valve and it did not budge! I'm afraid to put too much pressure on it for fear of breaking/cracking it or the block. I really felt solid. Any advise???...thank you as always....Ed
