    Coolant Flush and Fill

    Doing a coolant flush and fill. Where do you get replacement hoses? Looking at the local parts stores online doesn't give oe replacement results. I'll go to Napa to see if they have them. The old coolant (or lack of) was pretty bad. I was watching a video on youtube on the subject and one guy used CLR in addition to the flush chemical (not together). Any reason not to use CLR to remove stubborn rust? Also, it seems the "flush and fill" kits are harder to come by. The Autozone by my house no longer carries them. They wouldn't say why but probably EPA...
