Coolant Line Replacement

Does anyone have experience replacing a hose such as A166-500-86-75 or A166-500-00-75? Before I tear into this I want to make sure I understand what to do with A166-500-86-75. If you have a job code that describes this that would work as well. I found AR20.20-P-7441-01RQ which shows how to operate the clutch on the radiator connector but not the other two connectors. Just want to make sure I have this down before I start. My current part has a leak at the T junction requiring replacement.

1) Drain Coolant

2) It looks like the proper installation order is: Install at the engine side with an insert and twist (assuming CW) lock on this connection


3) Fit the smaller hose onto its connector



4) Install this connector onto the radiator and push until it sets



5 & 6) Release the spring clamp from step 2 which self-tightens and slide metal retention clip from step 3 into place.

7) Refill Coolant System


Thanks!

I looked in WIS and couldn't find the complete job code. If you can help me there I would appreciate it - perhaps you can see where I referenced the job codes I found. They are not consistent on calling it a coolant line, coolant hose, etc, nor is it set up to be searchable by part number (not that I've found).
