Disconected the wiring harness....

Now I can see the evil leaky hose (Screw driver on the hose)
http://lh5.ggpht.com/_ar4NWGG0rGY/TD...0/IMG_0003.JPG
Wrestles the hose clip loose and disco the hose....
http://lh3.ggpht.com/_ar4NWGG0rGY/TD...0/IMG_0005.JPG
Now on to the lower connection.....
Lower Connection easiest way I found to get to it was to pull the right front wheel and reach in through the wheel well.

Disco the clip and hose.
http://lh4.ggpht.com/_ar4NWGG0rGY/TD...0/IMG_0008.JPG
Fish the old hose out throw it on the garage floor and swear at it ::Rant:: !
http://lh6.ggpht.com/_ar4NWGG0rGY/TD...0/IMG_0007.JPG
Now reverse the entire process and install the shinny new parts.....
http://lh5.ggpht.com/_ar4NWGG0rGY/TD...0/IMG_0004.JPG
Now refill the system and pull out the old pressure tester...
Pressure the system up!
http://lh6.ggpht.com/_ar4NWGG0rGY/TD...0/IMG_0009.JPG
Wait about 20 minutes and see if the system holds pressure to make sure there are no more leaks. (Sorry about the glare)
http://lh3.ggpht.com/_ar4NWGG0rGY/TD...0/IMG_0010.JPG
It is holding pressure so I'm thinking it is fixed.......
The new clamps were a great plan since they are open with a safety clip on them you move them into position and pull the safety with a set of needle nose pliers and the clip is on!
Well, I can tell the needle didn't move, but there's no time stamp on the photos and I never heard you from my house ;)Quote:

I trust you'll carry a shallow dish and a box of Friskies to the next auto-x? Can't let any future coolant leaks get away... ;)
