just did this today and it was not fun. take the 5 clamps off each end of the hose and pull like a son of a gun. Have fun with the one that goes to the engine. Getting the clamp to fit properly is no walk in the park. hint have a lot of different size pliers handy. Otherwise not too bad. remove the heat shield first of all. then everything else is seeing and removing/replacing. be sure that no religeous people or elders or children are around because you are going to be saying every swear word you knew and a few new ones too.
only way to change lower radiator hose is to get underneath the vehicle there is a fawcet on bottom of radiator to dump coolant, then remove hose from underneath vehicle
