That looks like this?



I have a heater core outlet that became out of round after the Hulkster here used his 18" pythons to remove a heater hose yesterday. Word on the street has it that I can use 3/8" deep well sockets to work up to the right size on the interior and then caress the copper tubing back into shape. These pliers would work to get it back to round.

Hey Wes,

Those Miata heater core tubes collapse real easy. I've rounded mine back out by just sticking a 3/8" extension up into the tube and "wallering" it out until it looks pretty round. No leak issues as of yet.

Next time, take an exacto knife and split the hose before trying to remove it.
