Samco hose install

[DaveK]

Spent the weekend installing the new hoses and flushing the coolant. I have two hoses I haven't fitted though. One is a very short straight section which I think replaces the very lowest hose on the radiator. The second is a double bend piece and is the biggest diameter hose in the set. I think this replaces one just behind the radiator on the passenger side.

Both of these look virtually impossible to access and change without removing the radiator (which I dont want to do right now - sounds like a winter job to me!). Is this what other people have found?

The hoses went on pretty easily for me, I used a smear of dieletric grease as recommended on another post. Getting the original hoses off was a real pain though.

Thanks

Dave
