    Very easy, as soon as you take off the airbox you will be able to see both of the clamps that hold that hose on. Only issues is that you have to bleed it after.

    Yep as Phiz says depending on what aircleaner setup you have.
    Also get two new little O rings for the two bleed valves in the frunk as they often leak once disturbed.
    Make sure to follow the correct bleeding procedure carefully.
    It is quite straight forward. Just take your time trickling in the new coolant.

    Thanks for all that, I've tried to take out the airbox, but I"m guessing the AFM meter has to come out as well ? Now I'm thinking of doing all the coolant hoses & getting the radiator pressure tested, just to stay on the safe side. I've heard of a lot of horror stories. Thanks again.
