Clamp the hoses with hose clips.

Place paper under the inner hose connection to collect any spilled coolant.

Turn the quick-release connector (the inner of the 2 hoses) slightly in the direction of the arrow so that the lock opens. At the same time, pull the coolant hose straight out of the coolant pipe.

NOTE:

Tie the hose up to the engine so that it does not fall down and trap the hose connector against the firewall during installation.
