About my radiator hose...?

i need to change my radiator hose. i have a 98' dodge neon. my questions are: how much is the hose itself (upper hose) and how difficult is it to change it urself. what do i need to change it and how? please and thank you.About my radiator hose...?
check the price with your local auto parts store on line. I use Autozone. Probably cost between $6 an $16 depending.

Upper hose is usually easiest. Unscrew two clamps. Should just take a standard screwdriver. Work when car is off and cool. Be prepared to replace the antifreeze you loose during the work. It can be a bit messy so be aware of where you are working.About my radiator hose...?
should run you below 15 bucks and all you need is a pair of plyers nad some new clamps .it is as aesy as pie.About my radiator hose...?
depending on the clamps, it should be fairly easy...if you have spring clamps, you may need a special pair of pliers...



and please, do not attempt this when the engine hot...About my radiator hose...?
Upper radiator hoses are just about the easiest things to change. All you need is a flat head screwdriver. Unscrew the hose clamps and put the new ones on. Make sure that the car is not really hot when you do this because there is a chance you could get sprayed.About my radiator hose...?
They aren't that much. any auto parts store should have one. I would also get 2 new hose clamps. I don't care for the spring loaded ones that they put on cars now. I like the old screw on clamps, you can always tighten them if they are loose. The whole thing should be less than 25 bucks or so.
