lower radiator hose replacement

[DavidT]

what all do you have to remove to get to it?... I did a search... to no avail.

It's a tight fit, but you can easily do it if you remove the front passenger's side wheel and the fender liner if needed. Just drain the radiator first.

great! Thanks!
I am going to rent a pressure tester today to see exactly what's causing my leak.

use a rhino ramp. there should be clamps on the lower radiator and onto the water pump/engine area. then just tug and pull....

If the hose is baked on real tight then try to work some silicone spray underneath: Carefully pry the edge of the hose up and spray silicone under there. After working a little bit in there it will make removal a bit easier.

I used a NAPA 7311 hose. it is not made for the SHO but will fit OK.
