Howdy all,

I am prepping up to change my thermostat, upper/lower housing, etc. this weekend. I am interested in changing any of the hoses around the area as well. Since I am going through all the trouble to replace the housing, I would like to replace any hoses I can while I am at it. I have never messed with this area before, so I need to ask: What hoses are replaceable once the entire thermostat housing is off? Since I am probably going to flush the coolant while I am at it (the Chilton manual recommends it) I may as well pull any convenient/semi-convenient hoses... THANKS! :hammer:
 






The bypass hose goes from the thermostat housing to the water bump. Mine was pretty swollen when I pulled it apart so I replaced it!
