Re: Replace Lower Radiator Hose - Tips?

Replacing this hose is a pain since you will need to loosen, you don't have to completely remove the supercharger belt. You will need to remove the mount on which the ignition module is attached to, also you will need to remove one of the upper pulleys. After getting all this off you should be able to get to the upper part of the hose. The lower part of the hose is easier as long as the clamp is in good condition.

Replace the clamps with new ones. The worm type in stainless are the best.

When you refill use Prestone Extended Life antifreeze. It mixes with Dex but doesn't have the problems associated with Dex. Also make sure you bleed the air out of the system.

Good Luck!
