Well, it doesn't look easy! Seriously, I hope someone who's done it replies, because I want to do mine soon.

It has been posted on several threads here. They are quick disconnect, but often dont. You will find locking tabs on the connector. You pinch the tabs inward till you hear them click when they release, then pull them off. They have orings inside the fittings, two rubber and one plastic per fitting. If there is a lot of corrosion in them then you will have to fight with them. There is a special tool made for them but I never like it, didnt have enough maneuvering room with some of them. If you are replacing the heater core its easier to cut off the core pipes with a chop saw and get the hoses in the open to remove the pipes.
