Hi chaps,

Have just got a full coolant hose kit fro act this weekend. Is it a simple job to swap hoses over and what pointers do people have to make the job easier? Some of the hose clips seem to be in awkward positions so expecting to remove front wheels to provide enough wiggle room.

Thank in advance smile

Easy enough job my only advice is use a 1/4 drive socket set and cut any tight hoses with a stanley knife

Definitely no need to remove wheels (and it'll be of no help to do so).

Couple of hours - easy peasy.

Just be aware that the thermostat housing to swirl pot may need a reducing hose to fit correctly and that needs to be ordered as an extra from ACT - the supplied one isn't a reducer. (Or wasn't in my kit.)
