I just got a package in the mail today. Its my OBX radiator hoses (same blue ones that visionz has on his tib) and I wanted to know whats the best way to remove the old hoses and install these? Will I lose alot of fluid when I disconnect them? Guess Im just looking to see if anyone has any pointers since ive never done this before. Thanks.

No problems with mine. Just put some
plumbing silicone adhesive stuff around the inlets when installing.
I replaced all my radiator Fluid for new fluid, but if yours is good you can drain it into a bucket not to waste good fluid.
When you are done, let car cool down, start it, then fill the radiator with the car running. Repeat untill radiator cap is overflowing and air bubbles are sifting through. Should be a no brainer
