Well, I got the new radiator and the top hose in. That lower hose is a bear! It appears that the ehxaust manifold has to come off to get to one of the clamps. It's the wife's car and I'm going to just bite the bullet this time and take it to a shop. I never found a leak, or any real problem besides the original radiator being a little blocked. I'll post again when I find out what the problem is.
