I need to replace the hose that. goes from the plastic tee to the water joint on the right cylinder head. Will I need to remove the radiator to get to the clamp or will I be able to access it between the throttle bodies? I want to be prepared before I jump into this. Any help is greatly appreciated.
 
Replying since this thread has set unanswered. I have not replaced this hose myself but based on working on the thermostat and the cooling hoses with the airbox off I'm not sure how you'd get the hose clamp on the cylinder head off without removing the throttle body. You might try going in by removing the thermostat and associated hoses, but it would be tight. See the illustration below:

Thank you for the reply. I guess I need to be prepared to remove the throttle bodies. I remember tightening the clamp on the bigger hose on that fitting but I don't remember how I got to it.
