You won't like it,because it's rather drawn out. First, drain the radiator and save the coolant. You need to remove both fans. For the driver's side fan, unplug the wire, remove the two bolts at the top of the housing, and lift it out. For the other fan, remove the coolant overflow tank, than unplug the wire to the fan motor. Loosen and remove the two bolts at the top of the housing and remove the fan. Note that there bolts at the bottom of the radiator(1 at the drivers side, and 2 on the passenger side). These hold the fans in place. Loosen them a couple of turns. Trace the hose from the bottom of he radiator to the other end. I had to cut the hose off at the top, but the bottom came off easily. Replace the clamps with new ones. Ease the new hose in, and make sure it's not kinked nd the the wear guard is in the bracket. Slid the new clamps over the hose, put the hose in place, and tighten the clamps in place firmly, but not too tight. The two fans go in exactly as you removed them. Replace the coolant overflow bottle and refill the radiator.
