Coolant hose behind the engine - any way to replace it without remov
Written by douglasvanb on 5/9/2010 at 10:12 pm

That's what I was afraid of...

I decided to take the following approach:

1) Buy Hose B
2) Give currently installed Hose B a good talking to and show it that it can be
replaced
3) Put new Hose B in spare parts kit in the trunk to serve as a warning to the
installed Hose B
4) Hope that the installed Hose B never catches on that I never want to have to
replace it.

while getting it on. It took me two days of trying as my fingers just couldn't
keep up the rigors of the evolution for more that 20 minutes, at a time.

from the frame? It's the only coolant hose that I can't figure out how to
reach.
