Subject:Repairing a coolant hose
From:Annie
Date:Fri, 17 Sep 2010 17:48:14 -0700

I've got a hose that's got a small tear in it. Other than the tear, the rest
of the hose is in good shape and is only leaking a little bit from the tear.
I'd like to just repair the hose rather than buying a whole new hose.

What is the best way to go about repairing it? The tear is only about 1/4
inch or less in length. I was thinking of splicing it and putting a smaller
hose in that section then clamping it but I'm open to other ideas.

Thanks!
