#20815, "changing upper radiator hose???? HELP"




          

well my belt was getting real loud...so I checked under the hood and my upper radiator hose is leaking antifreeze...Im heading down to pep boys to get a new one...is it as easy as it looks to change? Will antifreeze start pouring out all over the place when I take it off? any tips will be helpfull
TIA

Simple, remove the two clamps from the ends and slighty twist and pull and there you have it, radiator fluid pouring all over the ground!!!

I just put more fluid back in when it stopped pouring out and the new hose was on! or you could loosen the radiator drain plug on the passenger side of the bottom of the radiator and drop a couple of quarts of fluid then pour it back in when your done....Even a girl could do it..(LOL) Have fun.
