I need to replace the short (~3") coolant hose located on the lower right rear of the engine, underneath the oil dipstick tube. The hose has swollen, possibly from being exposed to oil, and I'm a little nervous about it failing. I'd like to do this job with minimal loss of coolant if that's possible. I have some clamps designed to 'pinch' rubber hoses--can I use these clamps to strategically limit flow while I replace this hose? Or should I just count on draining and replacing all of the coolant? Thanks, Mark '87 Syncro
