Most likely while you are in there it's time to replace the hose. Saves having to go back if it starts leaking on the other end which is highly likely given the age. There should be a return heater hose, it is probably in similar condition. Diagram may be available via google. Youtube may show you how to. A very bright led flash light will allow you to see and trace the heater hose. You'll need to drain the radiator save the antifreze if new. Replace if old. Any other cooling system hoses need to be replaced? How is the water pump. It's not the leak is it? Otherwise Library probably has repair manual, or may be time to invest in repair manual. Lightly used may be available on Ebay and others. New hoses are cheap insurance against possible failure.
Yea, I hate those clamps too. Take them off with a channel lock. Spray the hose with penetrating oil and soak. Try to twist them. Pry off with a flat head. Hose can always be bought and molded.
Yes. I've replaced them myself. You need what they call "silicone" hoses. Where I live they look like heater hoses, but are bright green or blue, while heater hoses are red or black. Be blessed.
Instead of removing the intake manifold and the the leaky manifold coolant hose, we simple place a 1" dia hose about 3" long with a **** down it so it can fit around the leaky coolant hose with two hose clamps and an agressive amount of "right stuff" silicone sealant and let stand for 24hrs which should fix the problem
Thanks!
