24416, radiator hose is bulging!!!! help ASAP
Posted by nappyjim, Jun-03-02 07:05 AM
i got to get my oil change and the guy goes,
"look, get this chnaged asap."
I look and my radiator hose is like frickin 4 times it normal size. He says go to Autozone get a new hose and then come back round 5 and some guy will put it on for me, im like ok. So i get hose. And now, i wanna put it on myself. I know its not hard, just gotta undo the 2 metal clamps holding each end on. But when i loosened the one clamp a bunch hot ass green shit squirted out so i closed it real quick. Now do i need to drain something before i take this hose off, or what do i need to do?

you just need to remove some of the coolant by removing the plug at the bottom of the radiator, then remove the bad hose, replace and refill coolant/water mixture
