Planning
Place a channel skillet under the radiator and channel the coolant from the radiator.
Press the spring clasp holding the upper radiator hose to the radiator fitting with a couple of rib joint pincers and slide the brace towards the motor.
Contort and pull the upper radiator hose off the radiator.
