Have a new heater hose on the way from Dal. Aside from the obvious, what am I looking at in replacing this? Best I can tell just from looking at the upcoming job, I will need to remove the altanator, and my STB. Aside from that it looks pretty straight forward; other than just being a PITA.

 

so, you are replacing the entire assembly?

I would have just gotten all the pieces and clamped them on....

 

Yes I replaced the whole asembly on mine its pretty easy just remove the alternator, then to get them in you will probably have to take the metal piece that holds the two hoses together so you can get them in, at least thats what I did, and i'm pretty sure I read it in a thread here. Makes its a whole lot easier
