    The ol memory is gettin foggy but wasn't there a member offering Silicon replacement hoses & didn't he mention that he had to replace the clamps. I'll see if I can find the thread.

    These are the same folks that make the VX badges. I have done business with them and they were fantastic to deal with.

    Great service and fair prices. I don't think you could go wrong here if silicon is the way you want to go.

    slow day at work with all the snow so i was able to bring it into the shop and get em swapped out... took less than an hour, very easy job, did break the little plastic piece that holds the lower hose towards the battery, but a zip tie easily took its place, looks like the leak was just from the hoses, none of the tubes them selves were damaged at all

    for reference if anyone needs to replace theirs the napa hose numbers are

    9010
    8662

    of course i took them off before i wrote down which was which

    Is there any other way to take something apart ?
    In my house:
    I just took my thermostat off the wall (lotsa neat colored wires) to see if the thermostat was bad or if I had a bad fan relay (the fan wouldn't cycle off). After I took it off I thought, I shoulda drawn a diagram as to how they were wired. Turns out the fan relay was bad so I had to put the thermostat back. Luckily, one of the voices in my head remembered how they were and the other voices agreed.
    So I said to myself, I said "Handee"
    and this voice came back and said..
    "He's not in, may we take a message?"
