theresthatguy 09-21-2005, 04:00 PM so my bottom radiator hose is leaking and obviously needs to be replaced. when i do this (i know the engine needs to be cool), is there anything I should do before loosening the clamps and taking off the hose? oldelky80 09-21-2005, 04:06 PM Drain the radiator first or you'll have a real mess when you pull off the lower hose. The drain **** should be on the lower part of the tank, usually on the opposite side to the hose. theresthatguy 09-21-2005, 07:24 PM I've flushed my radiator before, so I know what you're talking about. Thanks a bunch. Ed ke6bnl 09-22-2005, 12:29 AM Drain the radiator first or you'll have a real mess when you pull off the lower hose. The drain **** should be on the lower part of the tank, usually on the opposite side to the hose. I do what I have seen at local rad shops and put a hose and pump and start and then gravity feed what I can out of the radiator can even salvage and reuse this way. DO NOT DO IN A WAY THAT CAN GET IT IN YOUR MOUTH POISONES Snaggle To0th 09-22-2005, 07:06 AM drain into a bucket so you can re-use it...belive someone said that....after driaing pull the bad boy off and ur set to put on a new one! -Anduh LeoC2 09-22-2005, 07:39 AM Also, if you have pets be sure to dilute and clean up any spillage because antifreeze will kill a dog before your very eyes. | ||
