What is the best way to remove the bottom hose from my radiator/engine?

I have a EG h/b w/stock d16 engine. I'm just going to get a like-oem radiator replacement. Thank you.

 

Loosen the clamp and pull it off. If it's stuck use a "box cutter" and slit the hose (length-wise) from the end of the hose to the end of the neck it's connected to.

 

the easiest way is different depending on the car. if you have a short ram intake or stock, then remove it and remove the hose from the neck and pull it out with the radiator. if your car has a cold air or does not have the lower splash sheild, then remove from the lower radiator neck. radiator hoses (upper and lower) should be replaced when replacing a radiator. they are less than 30 from the dealer.

 

How do you reinstall the hose though? Is there enough room to just reach down there and connect the clip that holds it onto the radiator/block?

 

just push it back on... change the clamp

common sence

 

Should I reach from the top or the bottom? If I remove the bottom I'll have to remove the splash guard.

 

This isn't a complex task. You have plenty of room to go at it from the top. You should be able to tell just by looking.

 

hahahaha, isn't it self explanatory when you look at the darn thing?

Jesus dude. Its just a car. Go out there, remove the hose, put it back on. Your not going to **** it off or something if you don't touch it just right....
