how long did it take to do? 5 mins?

any spillage? once u disconnect the hose from the radiator, does the fluid spil out?

when you pour the fulid back in, and reconnect the hose, does any fluild come out?

thanks!

sciondad you are more then welcome to answer this too.

took about 30 minutes in total. make sure you do it when the engine is nice and cool. there was spillage but nothing too serious (fluid comes out from both the engine block and the radiator)... be sure you have a 7-11 double gulp cup on hand when removing. haha

no fluid should come out after you reconnect the hose. ohh and be sure to tighten the ends very securly afterwards.

I think you are confused...

Hook the hose back up then pour the fluid back in to the overflow resevoir or directly in to the radiator. You don't add the fluid back until the hose is completely installed.

Hope this helps.
