My only piece of advice is remove the battery first. Makes it a lot easier to get the bottom hose off. Otherwise, it just installs the same way as the stock one. Oh, and you can suck out the coolant with some vinyl aquarium hose beforehand so you don't make a mess.

Timely comments! I'll be installing my Pettit AST in a few days. The OEM hasn't cracked (yet), but the fuse on this bomb has been burning for 10 years and 83k miles

Correction
I was taking a close look at the car (largely to find an oil leak- turbo- damn), and noticed that the stock AST is in fact already leaking!!!! Man, what timing. I only ordered the aluminum one because it seemed like a good precaution. Giving you guys a 10 year head start to figure out all the maintenance items is going to be a real time saver for me
Thanks,
