Each vehicle may be slightly different but the procedures are close. 1. Drain the radiator or use a bucket/pan to catch coolant as it comes out from the engine or radiator. 2. Unfasten the clamps which are at both ends of the hose; clamps may be screw type or spring type (use the appropiate tools). Also other hoses/equipment may have to be moved to get the clamps off. 3. Pull the radiator hose ends loose using a rocking and/or rotating motion (hoses may be tight and may require a little prying with a screwdriver between the hose and the flange where it is connected. 4. Installation is the opposite of removal. The flanges may have to be cleaned if really dirty and make sure that if screw type clamps are used that they are not overtightened (screw clamps can cut the new hose if they are to tight). 5. Refill the radiator and reservoir to the proper levels, then follow the steps below; a. let the car run until it warms up completely b. shut it off for about 15-30 minutes. c. re-check and refill the coolant system as needed. I might add that if one hose is bad they both need replacing. Also bleed all air from the system.
