arite....well after the lower rad hose, theres a little hose that has a screw clamp on it, that goes into the LRH piping on the radiator itself....how do i get that **** off...its rusted on like crazy, i dont know which way to screw it, if i have to tighten it to squeeze the clamp or loosen it to open the clamp, or if i can ratchet it off



thanks

usually its just a spring clamp.................. just squeeze it and pull it down. if its a screw type unscrew it



the lower hose is usually annoying to take off might need channel lock plyers to break it loose

starting to rain? better go put the car cover back on





just wiggle that **** back and forth, try sticking a screwdriver

in between the hose and the radiator to break it free.



Now is a good time to cut that bitch off and put a new hose on.

Get the new hose first.
