Regarding the short 2 inch hose that goes from the engine to the long cooling pipes. (It is probably a 1 & 1/2 inch inner diameter hose.) If I replace this hose myself will all the coolant drain out once the hose is removed? The job seems pretty straightforward. I am told by one parts house here locally that it is just regular 1 & 1/2 inch coolant hose cut to length. For $120 labor I might just tackle this job myself and search the archives for coolant replacement procedure. So, when I remove this hose will all my coolant drain out? How much and how do I capture it and dispose of it? William |
