yes, the lower hose can be a BITCH… to disconnect the hose at rad bend in
the little tab easy to see threw wheel well. then you should be able to
rotate hose counter clockwise 45 degrees and pull off rad. I had to cut the
black band off mine then pulled off hose to gain access to the metal band
and used channel locks to rotate the band and then used a screw driver to
pry out on it. this took a little time there’s two rubber o-rings on the
bottom neck that causes this metal sleeve to seize up. Ford used this great
idea for assembly only. not what a little corrosion and time might do.
Rule #1. When working on a vehicle, never, never, never wear jewelry, long
sleve shirts, or loose clothing like this girl did and reach into the
engine compartment. I’ve seen bad things happen to people who do.
what about the lower hose…. its got some special clip ive never seen
before… the top hose is easy.. there are NO videos on whats up with the
lower hose where it attaches to the radiator.. i dont see any hose clamp or
nothing. i mean pahleeeze
