Rep Power: 0 Question about radiator hose

Or, if you dont want to use the proper coolant and go cheap, just use some distilled water. This is assuming you didnt waste too much when draining..
On the bottom of the radiator is a drain plug for the coolant. When the engine and radiator has cooled off, unscrew the the plug and release enough coolant to remove your upper hose. Do your sleeving then top off the radiator.
BTW.. I know some peeps who've drained their radiator into a clean container and re-used it. I dont recommend it unless your certain you know what your doing.
