Due to the offset on the Tundra wheels I added a 1.5” hub centric in the rear to bring them out closer to the fenders. I saw one the heater core tees seep coolant. When I went to tighten the clamp, it broke off . Took the opportunity to get the all metal Dorman tees for both.

These Dorman metal tees are interesting, but I wonder what "metal" they are made of. Kind of wondering if there will be any reaction between the heater tubes on the SUVs and these.

What method did you use?
Before, I’ve detached input and output hoses and lifted the front end to go lock to lock 30 times to accomplish a full exchange but it was a total pain in the ass. This time I decided to use a tube to suck out the old fluid from the reservoir and refill with fresh fluid. I’ll drive it for a week or two and do it again.

I don t remember exactly how but I know I removed either the high or low pressure line and put the dirty output in a bucket as I went L to L until the fluid was clear. I added new fluid as I went.
