How else are you going to flush the heater out!Disconnnecting the hose is the only way you can get a good flow of clean water through there to flush it out.Remember the heater core is just like a radiator, only smaller.Having a heater hose, especially the one thats highest in the system, disconnected is also handy for bleeding the air out when you fill the system up again.

Ifyou do not do the heater core,the old coolant makes the new coolant stale ,then it kills the radiator core. Its the most common way to kill your radiatior.

The most common way to kill your radiator, is assuming you can flush it out with a garden hose. The stuff that clogs up the cores on a radiator has a similar consistancy to plaque on your teeth. Does drinking a glass of water clean your teeth! No. Running a low volume of water though your radiator waont clean it either.
Spend 80 bucks at your local radiator repair shop having the cores of your radiator rodded out. Its the best money you can ever spend on your cooling system.

In all my years of spinning spanners I've never heard of people removing radiator hoses from inside the cabin to flush a cooling system. What a daft suggestion.
Looking at your comments of late, you're clearly a troll.
