2005 EX sedan radiator return hose replacement Hi everyone, I might look out of place here with my Toyota, but I mean no harm. 
My neighbor's 05 EX sedan with 230k is having overheating problems and I've diagnosed it as being the return hose. Has anyone had to replace theirs and can give me tips to make it easier to fix? Help is appreciated as she wants me to do it tomorrow morning.

If you think a good mechanic is expensive, try hiring a bad one

im guessing the lower hose that returns cooled antifreeze to the engine. i guess its leaking otherwise i see no need for replacement. if the lower hose is not leaking and just doesnt get hot after driving, you need a new honda thermostat.
