A small hose behind the engine (near the firewall) is leaking radiator fluid and needs to be replaced. How best to replace this hose? From above, I can barely reach it and it would likely require removing a lot of stuff. From below I can reach it, but it is still very tight and I'm not sure that I can get at it with tools in-hand. Any suggestions? I thought it best to get some advice first prior to starting on this project. Thanks.

Measure how much is leaking and go buy about 2 inches extra heater hose at a auto parts store, then cut out the part that is leaking and put in a splice made of plastic pipe with ribs on it or you can buy 2 t's for flushing out the cooling system and use them to splice the two hoses together with hose clamps.
