Kevin, Aftermarket hose will be a little tighter. Put a little WD40 around the inside of the hose and it will fit. No cutting required.

When replacing the driver side coolant hose running to the water pump, I noticed it was a much tighter fit than the one the previous owner had installed. In fact, the fit is so tight There's the beginning of a kink to it. When I compared the hose to the one the previous owner had installed I noticed that he had cut a small portion of hose out of the U-shaped section and used a coupler to make a better fit. My question is, is this hose supposed to fit tightly? Am I not positioning it correctly? Is there something wrong with the hose? Thanks. -Kevin VIN 2234 ____________________________________________________________________________ ________ Do you Yahoo!? Everyone is raving about the all-new Yahoo!
