I just did this fix. Hands still black with grease.
Other observations. What James Dean mentioned in his write up is spot on. I’m not a super mechanic but try to do all work myself or with a friend. What I did not realize or think about is the coolant pressure in the line. I pulled the hose off and the coolant gushed out. So just be prepared for that. After that, pretty straight forward. Just a really tight squeeze with my monster hands.
