I had to replace the heater hose in my ae82 (running a 4ac) the one that runs to the thermostat housing (just on top of the thermostat) from the firewall. When removing the hose i seems i snapped off the copper piping that goes from the (heater core?) in the firewall to the hose itself. I tried using some kneedit to secure it back on but it simply cant take the heat. Anyone have anyideas on how i can secure it?
Replace it with a non broken one... or you could get it braised by a plumber or someone like that, but your best bet is to get a new one.
Pretty much the entire dash will have to come out.... Alternatively you could move to a warmer place and bypass the heater by looping the heater inlet and outlet at the block...
Moral to the story, be more careful when swapping hoses....
