Bottom radiator hoses / 36 Fordor

[36henry]

Ok guys I've had the radiator in and out a few times over the years in my 36 and the worse part is fitting the bottom radiator hoses.

Well I've redone the top hoses and thought the bottom were fine but...........there were some telltale drips of coolant coming from one hose this morning so I "nipped"the hose up and went to work in my other car.

Got back this afternoon and yep a couple of more drips so I need to change the hoses, is there a trick or easier way to change these bottom hoses???

Anything to make it easier would be appreciated

I replaced mine a few weeks ago, the old ones were soft and came out fairly easy. The new ones were very stiff so I used a heat gun and warmed them up till could fold them. Put a little marvel mystery oil on the inside and they slipped rite in.

Heat them in hot water and fold them in the middle,spray inside of hose ends w/WD 40 they will slid right on. works for me. ken ct.
