    Mitch Has one gear: GO

    About a 3/10.

    Just use some silicon spray or something to grease the heater hose up before sliding it on. Bottom first, then the top end. A long screwdriver will help with the hose clamps (>30cm long)

    As mitch said, not too hard. Do it with a

    stone cold engine. You will need flexible hands/arms and patience. Do them both while you are at it. Ensure you don't disturb any hoses/wiring back there.

    just say awkward not too difficult.

    Torch, screwdriver, hose lube.
    You may want to sand off any build-up off the hard-pipes to ensure a good seal with the new hoses.
