Dave;
        If memory serves me I pinched of the two hoses going to the
overflow tank. This way only the reservoir is opened and very little
coolant is lost. I used sections of one inch diameter dowels drawn
together by long wood screws. Works better than the $15 hose clamps I
purchased from Sears.

Good Luck and Drive Safely
