The coolant line at the drivers side rear of the engine block and also at the heater valve are leaking. I am looking from above and below the hood at the access to the lower hose (connects from the driver side rear block to a vertical metal tube, which then connects to the heater valve with another rubber hose). What is the recommended method of accessing/replacing that lower hose (p/n 87245A)? I was quoted 2 hrs labor by my local dealer, so I decided to do it myself (for better of for worse). But given its location, I'm wondering if other components need to be removed first. Do you have any advice before I start this project? Thanks, Rich richardh@...

Do you have the Haynes $14 repair manual, or the Land Crusier repair manual?? It should tell you!
