How do I Replace the Lower Rad Hose
I know this is or should be a fairly simple procedure but I want to make sure I do not end up with a face full of hot antifreeze. So what is the proper procedure whe replacing the lower rad hose on my 94 Jeep Cherokee 4.0l?

If u let the motor cool (preferably COLD) and remove the plastic air filter box, the bottom rad hose is easily accessible from the top side. Use caution IF u loosen the drain plug on the rad.....they break easily.

Just do it with the motor cold, no worries. Right-angle channel locks help a bit to remove the spring clamp (if it has stock clamps). Taking the electric fan off is all I've ever done, but it's not much more work to remove the stuff mentioned above to give you a lot of room.
Edit: I wouldn't mess with the radiator drain either, just shove a 5 gallon bucket under there. It's a jeep after all, you can do that
