haha..yeah. The Black hose that comes from your radiator. There is a cover at the end on if. Make sure your car is cool when you do this FWI. Unplug the hose and place in a box quickly(liquid will come out the end) leave it hanging out of the way and unbolt the cover. just swap the two and make sure you have the gasket on since if you loose it, your line will suck and cause major problems.(Did it before)

Just pour the fluid back into your tank and your good to go!!

hope it helps,

so right where it attaches to the engine? ok cool, i thought thats where it goes.

I'd suggest using a piece of tubing and old milk jug and draining about a 1/2 gal of coolant from the radiator fill cap before you take off the hose leading to the engine. MUCH cleaner that way. Aside from that, just make sure you have a new paper gasket since you'll shred the old one when you take off the hose. Also, you might want to read the coolant fill procedure in Techinfo so you minimize the possibility of trapping any air pockets.

i have a gasket, bought it with the stat, and ill take your advice on the techinfo

Have you considered drilling it?

does drilling it make much of a difference?

Yes. You'll notice it more in the summer than the winter, believe it or not. You want a couple very small holes.

Particularly on a car with the EVIL WORTHLESS DEX. Dex turns acidic when exposed to air. You need to get the air out of the system. The best way to do that is to allow it to pass the thermostat any time it wants and go back to the radiator, where it can't travel back through the system.

Does the coolant level get low enough if you drain it only from the overflow hose? IIRC, the overflow hose is higher than the upper radiator hose leading to the thermostat.

I'm not sure about the 2000+ models which would be the case here, but on the previous generation, you could drain as much as possible from the radiator hole and your overflow bottle won't lose anything.
