This is more what I did yesterday...I accidentally broke the upper neck off my radiator when trying to remove the upper hose (after accidentally breaking off the hose connector for the expansion tank when removing the fan to replace the fan belt, tensioner, and idler pulley). I guess after 15+ years, that plastic gets brittle from thermal cycling.
So this is what I'm doing this coming weekend: installing a new radiator and main hoses with a $650-lighter wallet.
