Upper Radiator Hose

[project_x]

I wonder if the dealer didn't have the F22a hose and instead tried to use an F22b or F23 hose? That would explain it.

Most auto parts stores sell hoses that fit multiple applications - hence, the need to cut the hose.

And only SissyMen™ would cry about cutting something as frail as a radiator hose. Real men have tools like razor blades and utility knives. Hoses fall merciless to the pure scathing power expelled by any sharp blade. Don't let those hoses boss you around. Don't be a SissyMan™.

Thats what i was thinking about the hose, it might fit other apps but anyway i have just about every tool imaginable and cutting hoses that thick is not in my arsenal....even razor blades.however my industrial strength sissors worked just fine.and when you have to cut a radiator hose for yourself let me know if you had an easy time with it sissyman..whatever that is

Lmfao X2. I've had to cut most of the hoses that i've replaced. It's nothing new. I normally just use a regular knife.

I just use a sharp swiss army knife.. Works good for me..

^^^^^see these last two guys??^^^^^^

because they can cut rubber hose with a sharp object they can now proudly call themselves better mechanics than you, OP.

sorry truth hurts.....

JFYI almost every hose sold in most parts stores (unless its a factory replacement) is a cut to fit style.

there are some that are direct but most are molded with some room for adjustment. its more cost effective for the manufacturer and more space saving for the parts house.

efficiency. go figure....

LMFAO. I can do more than that. Tire pressure, little squeegy thing you clean the windows with. You know, hard things.

LOL!

changing your oil is tough too.
the toughest part is unscrewing the filter by hand....

[Brandoncb7]

You're supposed to change the filter?!? I thought that was optional.

Ok i'll shutup. Sorry for getting off topic.

even more off topic....

no bullshit. my girls 2005 CR-V. according to Mitchell is supposed to have its (non-synthetic) oil changed every 10k miles and the filter every 20k!!!

i dont give a shit what honda/mitchell reccomends.
im changing oil/filter every 5k on synthetic...

that just sounds crazy to me.

A razor blade gripped in a vise grip is a good trick for cutting those hard-to cut things. Of course industrial strength scissors work nice too.
