    Thank you so much! I'm doing the water pump this weekend and the hose on the bottom of radiator too.

    I had a hose clamp on the bottom of the radiator break today and that was fun.

    At least I was sitting in line at a customer.

    That's terrible that you had the one on the rear of the motor and one on the side break. Awful.

    I'm glad I'm swapping them out before they break.

    That hose clamp on the bottom of the radiator today was pretty awful.

    At least it happened while I was in line at a customer and not driving in the middle of nowhere.

    Good luck.

    Have extra heater hose and clamps. The brass fitting is short and when you remove the quick connect pipe the old hoses wont reach.

    I got all three out today. They were all easy to remove and didn't break.

    Take care.
