Heater hose replacement

[toytrain13]

I plan to replace the upper and lower radiator hoses on my 1999 Camry V6 (90K). Should I replace the small heater hoses at the same time? Thanks- Richard W.

there is no need, but check them for signs of wear and replace as necessary

If it has got over 100,000 mi or km, i'd just change the heater hoses too. Its a good time to do it because all the coolant is out anyway. If you do change them, i recommend giving your engine a good washing with simple green first, before you have to reach in there and pull your hands out black and dirty.
Its easy, you just cut the heater hose to length. I also change the cheap factory clamps to screw type clamps whenever i change any hoses. Because next time you go back to service the hose, the clamp could be rusted or lost its tension or otherwise mangled up.
