Hello I have a 1990 HONDA ACCORD just wondering is there any suggestions or tips on replacing the water hose/coolant hose in the pictures below? It looks like a pain in the *** because it's so tight in there but I was thinking about removing the air control valves anyways to clean them. But if anyone has specific instructions for this hose please do post them I have all the honda oem parts straight from my local honda dealer already and will be doing it this weekend most likely. Also on the second and last picture could anyone tell me please what that hose is for and should it have a clamp on it? It's just sitting there loose.

HOSES BEING REPLACED.

19507-PT2-000 HOSE A FAST IDLE CONTROL

19508-PT2-000 HOSE B FAST IDLE CONTROL

JUST REACHED 200,000 MILES BTW F.T.W

 

that hose is a pita to get to. i always remove it from under the car. the hose underneath it(#7) will most likely need to be removed first in order to more easily get to the one you highlighted. but if you remove the intake. hose #4 and anything else in that area in your way it is possible to remove it from the top.

 

Nothing at all complicated about changing either of those hoses. You will simply pull the fitv off and the hoses on that side will all be easy, assuming you're using a 90 pair of needle nose like you should be. If it were me I would get the fitv and iacv gaskets and change them out while you're at it.

The one on the other side should be fairly easy with the 90 degree needle nose.

The hose at the bottom circled in pink is simply your fuel hose. It doesn't come off at all unless you choose to do your egr ports which haven't been done yet and which might be due for a change out.
