2002 Elantra VE: Lower Radiator hose leak.

Good morning group,

I woke up and went off to work to see fluid leakage on the driveway.

I looked under the car and it appears to be coming from the lower
radiator hose. From what I can tell it's either right at the nipple
when the hose connects to the radiator or the clamp gave way
allowing it to leak a bit.

I already did a system flush last year at my shop.

This time I'm going to change the hose myself. Would I be able to
get away with just opening the radiator cap and fluid resevoir and
popping the hose out while it drains and then re attach the new one
or would I have to change it in a specific manner??

Thanks in advance

Your method should bve fine. Be prepared with a gallon of new coolant,
and
dispose of your old coolant properly.
