{"title":"Hose Picks \u0026 Gasket Scrapers","description":"\u003cp\u003eHose picks and gasket scrapers are among the most important tools when repairing or rebuilding an engine. Old radiator and heater hoses begin to degrade, and fuse to the pipes and outlets they connect to. A simple hose pick is often the perfect tool for breaking this seal, allowing you to easily remove and replace or repair damages hoses in your engine. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGasket scrapers serve a different, but similar purpose. Gaskets also degrade and adhere to engine blocks, and the adhesives that they're originally stuck down with turn into messy, sticky, gunky problems that you have to deal with when you're repairing a head gasket. Japanese gasket scrapers are made from very sharp, very strong steel and will cut through that mess in no time at all.\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"anex-radiator-and-heater-hose-pick-coolant-hose-removal-tool-9115","title":"Anex Radiator And Heater Hose Pick Coolant Hose Removal Tool 9115","description":"\u003cp\u003eIf you work on old engines regularly, you know how difficult it can be to remove a corroded rubber coolant hose.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEven when the car is brand-new, coolant and radiator hoses are not designed to be easily removed - to prevent leaks.
