My hose failed last night and it needs to be replaced. I want to do it myself. But it looks like there are three openings, is this correct?

Does anyone have advice, tips, suggestions about how to proceed?

One of the spring clamps (the lowest one) looks to be turned away (back) and will be hard to get at.

Thank you in advance.

Channel-locks are your friend, get ready for a bit of coolant spillage so have rags and a pan ready, shouldn't be too bad at all

Actually alot of coolant spillage. But it really isnt too bad. I think it took me all of 4 minutes to change the thermostat once the battery was out of the way.
