Less than an hour.
My 2002 galant has a reverse flow system. The thermostat housing is in the radiator bottom hose. I had to take off the battery base to get to it.
No, you do not have to remove the engine to replace a radiator hose.No, you do not have to remove the engine to replace a radiator hose.
If you have a 4-cylinder, about 20 minutes. 90 minutes if you have the V6.
Mine needed to be replaced after 10 years $$$$$
Take out the olod radiator, put in the new one and done
20 Minutes tops. Empty antifreeze from radiator, take 4 small bolts from the fan cover that is attached to the radiator and scoot it towards the engine, loosen top and buttom hose off radiator, take 2 maybe 4 bolts holding the radiator to the front off and pull the radiator straight up!

No you do not.
You take off the hoses and do it.
A radiator shop will do that for you. Don't try to do it yourself. Most radiator shops don't charge that much if you take the radiator out yourself.
Pull it out, take it to a radiator shop and have them do it. Or what I would do , is just replace it with a new aftermakret one.
Stop leak products for the radiator from auto supply stores are not meant as a long-term solution. They should only be used to get you home or to a mechanic who can repair or replace the radiator properly.
