Angry 90 TII Leaking Coolant

Its Leaking due to an aged lower radiator Hose... by any change is there a quicker way in replacing the hose instead of Uninstallin the Radiator...

I'm not sure If this Is a serious question but you do not have to remove the Radiator to remove the lower Radiator Hose. It may remain their Intact.
When you replace the respective Hose, make the effort Into getting new Clamps to.

Drain the system, save the coolant in a clean container and reuse it.
R&R the hose, use new clamps.
You would have to drain the system to remove the radiator anyway, wouldn't you? It will give you more room if you remove the fan shroud, but I dont think that you have to.

jack it up and get a bucket buddy, collect the old coolant when you take the radiator hose off the radiator. And you do not need to take the radiator out to take the lower hose off. Changing the hose is an easy job, and make sure to get new hoseclamps. if your going to take anything off, pull out the shroud, but may i add, the shroud is a BITCH to get out.

If the pump end of the lower hose is really stuck, you may have to pull the air pump to get working clearance.

Dude!..you should not even have that SAD face!.. you should be glad that you are replacing something that will cause you trouble, say you went for you a long drive and that hose gave up on you... We all replace those hose anyways.. And yes you can replace a hose blind folded too.. Get your hands dirty!! dayum!
