Hello Rocketeers,

Will probably replace my stock radiator hoses with Samco hoses this
weekend. Is there anything challenging or special I need to watch out for?
Is removing the radiator to do the job very challenging? I'm probably average
to a wee bit above average mechanically with instructions.

Thanks,

Hi Darron, there have been several threads on the forum concerning replacement of the hoses with the Samco brand. See thread below:

Don't use lube to install them. Unless you use antifreeze. In other words, when installing a hose, use the fluid it carries to lube it with

I just did the Samco replacements. Not hard. Just pull radiator and take your time. Cover the front fender!
