[2000co]

Do i need to drain the radiator or just pull the old and install the new hose?

If you dont want to make a mess and spill coolant all over the place, some coolant will needd to be drained from the radiator, not all of it, just enough untill the upper hose is empty. Open the radiator drain with a catch pan in place and the radiator cap off and squeeze the upper hose untill it is empty, then close the drain and finish installing the new hose.
