I was not concerned about the rust on the hose
Rip on the ebrake, shift to reverse (the only gear i really know besides 5th) and beginning pulling. I had to double my rope to get the pulling strength up as the tensile in one string wasn't enough. Wrapped around the hose behind the metal coupler, hose clamp attached. Tightened the rope around the hose, couple zip ties so the rope stayed. Tied it to the Summits receiver and eased into the throttle gently until I saw it was moving, once I saw it was moving I just kept going and then THUD, the hose hit the ground flat.
In was more difficult. We tried 4 variations of drilled holes in the hose and 3x the hole ripped and shot out the rop from the front. 4th time Scott said to leave it untied and just zip tie it (I had my doubts, but if he was right and it worked so be it)... it didnt work and the rope just slid right out. The last time we really cut a groove in the new hose, two holes, double knotted it and then 4 zipties and I said to Scott that the key is to not stop, so cup your hands full of dish soap and get this thing lubed up cause this is the last try for the day. I leaned over my back seat to see the action as I drove forward and whoosh, it came right through without a hiccup.
-dawn dishsoap and be very liberal
-constant pressure forward, the starting and stopping gives time for the hose to recoil and shrink back down from a thinner stretched shape
-buy a v8 jeep summit
-harbor freight coolant hose pinch clamps are working great and still in position.
