question about quick disconnect radiator hose
hi, i think someone once gave me the answer, but i can't seem to find it. i have a 2004 cl600 and would like to know how the quick disconnect for the upper and lower radiator hoses work. i've searched here and google and the only posts i've found seem to be of a different quick release system than the one on my car. any description, pictures, or the best any videos of the procedure are absolutely greatly appreciated and of great help.
thanks
thanks

You pull the big U-shaped pins out and slide the hose fitting off and on.
Of course its not quite as easy as that in practice, but that's what it amounts to.
You may want to use a flat screwdriver to remove the pins, and to lever the fittings off.
One thing you can't do is twist them to remove or refit, as they're aligned with slots.

thanks nick. great explanation. does anyone have a visual as i'm not sure were the u shaped pin is. maybe on mine it was fitted with the pin on the under side of the hose out of eye shot.
