Re: water hoses are they still avail?
There are probably some left in the inventory, but they are all as old as your car.
Samco hoses are the way to go. Do a search here in the forum on the group purchase, all the info will be there.

Re: water hoses are they still avail?
Man, my hat's off to ya Brad!
I was doing the samco kit and when I got to that one.....well it's gonna get done this winter! ............that is if I can stop driving it long enough to get some stuff done....and I even have the clamp removal tool & I still gave up after eyeing up that hose. Man it's tight working on that one. Tom

Re: water hoses are they still avail?
I cut about an inch cut perpendicular to the ends. Then you can get a screwdriver in there to pry the hose off the fitting. The rubber pretty much fuses to the metal. Of course you can't do that if you were planning on reusing the hose. Removing the belt and tensioner helps create some access room to get to it.

Re: water hoses are they still avail?
the hose has worked great so far . here is the number of the hose and the amnt taken off for it to work. the hose is napa number 7927 you take 11 in measured along the outside of the hose from the end that has the part number . make shure you transfer the spring in the old hose. the cost from napa is 21 for the hose sure beats the 84 is was quoted from the dealer.
