Radiator expansion tank replacement

[BigLion]

Just did my SECOND expansion tank replacement last week, coming up on 77,000 miles - the heat here is a major pain, ands the engine is hot for a really long time after switch-off

Good call, I work in the Service Dept at one of the dealers here in Mpls and before doing mine one of the techs asked if I had that hose as well. At the time I didn't and he explained that from his experience more times than not they do not come off without breaking, as such he strongly advised waiting until it had the hose too...glad I did for the exact reason you are waiting ; )
