I'm putting a new radiator in my discovery as part of an engine rebuild...

How are you supposed to tighten the lower nut on the radiator for the oil coolant hose? You could just about get the wrench on it if the nut was in just the right place, but there's no room to move the wrench. Also, do those connectors seal on without any rubber?

Thanks,

Sorry, I am stupid sometimes.

2 clips and the plastic radiator surround thing comes right off, and you can reach it easily. I rebuilt the whole engine, took it out and put it back in and then get stumped by something stupid like this.

And I found one of the hoses had a rubber O ring on it so I took it to town and got more for the rest of the hoses.

Cheers,
Roger
