Radiator Hose: Testing and Inspection
Inspect the hoses at regular intervals. Replace hoses that are cracked, feel brittle when squeezed or swell excessively when the system is pressurized. The
use of molded replacement hoses is recommended. When performing a hose inspection, inspect the radiator lower hose for proper position and condition
of the spring.
