2004 SL 600 upper water hose to Radiator

My water hose ( top of motor to rad. drivers side) has a leak just wondering if there's any secrets to replacing looks simple but nothing easy on these beast. Does the radiator need to come out ?? Any advise ...Frank

Try and attach the radiator side first, if room is tight on that end. Make sure the the clip is locked real well on the new hose and in the right slot.

Got it on but didn't think it would take that much muscle to attach. I notice that one end of the hose is plastic & I'm wondering is the sides of these radiators plastic & if so can they leak ??
