Replace the old eight warm air tee joint with yourself

In the past, the teachers in the audience were always talking about the three links, but they did not understand what was going on, but they read and collected these wonderful articles carefully every time. Unexpectedly, it was my turn to get hit, but luckily I didn’t run a long distance (I used to go back and forth from Tianjin to Jiangxi last year and to and from Hainan at the beginning of this year)
I didn’t open it for a few months. I pulled something for my friend two nights ago, and I didn’t care about it. The next day, I drove this car with a limited number of other cars. I suddenly found that there was white smoke on the front cover. I quickly pulled over and found that the antifreeze spattered out. After the car cooled down, it was confirmed that the warm air pipe tee was broken, and asked the repair shop for 350 yuan.
After coming back, I hurriedly went to the altar to practice, dug up the secret books of all the masters, decided to dish it by myself after studying all night, and hurriedly bought 100 sets of water pipes with three links in the auto parts city. During the disassembly process, I found that the original pipes were still very strong. I hurriedly went to change two metal tees for a total of 40 yuan (told it was aluminum alloy, not stainless steel).
I thought it would be good to unplug the old pipe, insert the new three links, and then reinstall it on the car, but the process was so difficult.
1. The space is too small to reach out to work by removing the wiper connecting rod, ignition coil, etc.
two。 Clamp can not be removed, direction and space can not be operated (online purchase clamp 41 yuan)
3. When the tee is unloaded, the water pipe is bonded to the metal pipe, so it is impossible to unload it completely.
. It’s really a lot harder than I thought.
After thinking of a way, directly cut off the metal head of the water pipe with a knife, than to measure the size is also enough, so do it. My Swiss army knife is quite sharp, and it’s easy to cut it off. You don’t have to touch the connection between the warm air hose and the car, just insert the tee as it is, clamp it with pipe hoops, and check if there are metal friction pipes.
Then reset the ignition coil, wiper, etc., add antifreeze, ignition, exhaust, OK
Cold weather, clumsy hands, coupled with the waiting time for purchasing tools, finish the work in a week, appreciate the difficulty of the repairman, and admire all the experts in this world.
Thanks to the Golden Elder-ice- ‘s article, which details the connection of each water pipe. I printed it out for fear of an mistake (I borrowed a few pictures later). Thank you!

One of the advantages of purchasing a complete set of accessories is that each interface is equipped with cards, which makes it easy to connect.

The three links here are also plastic parts.

On the surface, this accessory is still workable, but it has been replaced with a metal tee.

Bought two calipers.

In the engine room, there is no room to reach out.

The head of the clamp is facing inward, and the tool cannot be put into it at all. I really don’t know how to design it and how to install the new car when it is installed.

The detached tee was broken and its head was pulled out with tools in the water pipe.

The upward one is disconnected, and the other two ends are damaged during disassembly, indicating that the material has gone bad.

I wanted to unload two of these pipes, pry open the metal head with a tool, and then insert the tee and tighten it with a pipe hoop, but the tube was bonded to metal tubes A1 and B1, so it could not be removed completely. There was no way to cut it off directly.
