My upper radiator hose blew and I went out to replace it and found it to be quite the toughie. There is no room to get my hands in so i can secure the hose to the radiator. Is there some secret CIA method to replacing this hose?

you just have to persist, there are special tools for doing up the clamps from a distance but cost is a problem for the one off use, you will just have to be patient and you will get it on.
