Antifreeze is slippery just rub a fingers worth inside the hose and on the nipple. Avoid getting it on the outside of the hose as much as possible.

V-8 343, I'm trying ($#**!) to connect a new heater hose tothe water pump, which in my case is below the AC compressor. I've measured the size of the old & new and they certainlyboth appear to be 3/4 ID, both say 3/4 on them but don'tmention which D. if one end was a touch bigger, wouldbe great I wonder if such a thing exists? i happen to have the Alternator out anyway so that givesa bit more room. considering loosening the Alt bracket. I'm all ears for any helpful hints. It's pretty tight in thereas far as getting the hose even started. perhaps sometype of lube would be ok? it's the little things that drive you crazy, carl -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
