Hello all,
Can the top radiator hose be replaced without unbolting the water outlet elbow?
Or should I order a new gasket for the elbow before I start this project?
Thanks in advance
Terry

Re: Top Radiator hose
A new hose should be flexible enough to install without removing the water outlet. I usually make small gaskets like this one from gasket stock material.

Re: Top Radiator hose
I've done it without removing the elbow, but it's pain. If you do remove the elbow just go to any auto parts store and buy a sheet of gasket material. It's very easy to make your own gasket and you'll have material left over to make more in the future.

Re: Top Radiator hose
I frequently wipe a thin layer of silicone gasket material inside the new hose. It makes it slide easier, and also helps it seal on the rough material of the cast elbow.LRiddle wrote:I've done it without removing the elbow, but it's pain.

Soapy water works for sliding rubber on to metal as well.

Re: Top Radiator hose
Got it changed last nite. Was -2 deg in the shed.
Wouldn’t have done it in the cold but didn’t want the pets
to drink any dripping on the floor.
Thanks for the help fellas
