There's an article in ShopTalk that seems to cover this pretty well.  I think it's called "Coolant Change" or something of that nature.

There's an article in ShopTalk that seems to cover this pretty well.  I think it's called "Coolant Change" or something of that nature.

Remembering what I thought was a hard part, I just checked "Coolant Change" on ShopTalk and found:

# Remove the left side cover to gain access to the coolant reservoir
# Remove the reservoir mounting bolt and the breather hose by the cap
# Dump the coolant into your drain pan
#  Reinstall the reservoir being careful that all the hoses are in place


I thought it was stinking hard to get the reservoir out from between the frame members, but the
reservoir is tough, and I got it out and jambed it back in without breaking it...

I changed my radiator hose at the same time, there's a fine line between getting the new one all the way on,
and getting it half-way on but then it won't go any further or come back off... lubing it (with radiator fluid? something
anyhow) is probably the key...
