How do i change a upper radiator hose on a 2000 pontiac sunfire?

i%26#039;ve been a gm tech for 20 yrs %26amp; this is a simple task on most vehicles-however the engine in your car (2.2liter) can be very difficult to bleed the air out of the cooling system after a hose replacement. I would suggest taking it to a good mechanic.The cost should not be that much.|||get a clean pan, put it under the petcock on the raidator, and drain off about half a pan of coolent. loosen the clamp on the hose end that goes onto the radaitor. Do same with hose end that in on the thermostate houseing.


Care fully twist the hose, till the ends of the hose come free, and pull the hose off.





Replace the hose, make shure both ends have new hose clamps on before installing the new hose. Make certain both ends are all the way on|||it can be a car!|||a flat head screwdriver or regular
