I just did mine last week. It's 1-1/2" I.D. Hose

One would think that a 6" chunk of 1-1/2" hose would be a snap to find at the FLAPS. Hmmmmph. I tried 3 stores and couldn't get a piece. I finally bought a Gates 21953, which has about 9" of straight followed by some curvy junk. A few seconds with a sharp knife and I had what I needed. Don't forget some new hose clamps. Mine weren't reusable.

When you pull the old one off, you're gonna loose most all your coolant, so be prepared with a big pan or whatever...
