I'm going to install a braided stainless steel UPPER radiator hose. I'll pinch off the degas bottle lower hose with a vice grip. then remove the hose at the radiator. if i'm quick enough I think i can get the new hose on the cross over with minimal fluid loss. sound reasonable?? If I do need more fluid I'll put it in the plug located on the cross over. if i need to burp the system any ideas or links on How To?? don't know how to delete this DUMB post. Getting 3:73s installed Monday Letting the tech. do it. Don't want a blown head gasket if I screw up
