Used hose clamps to secure the hoses on the heater core, then spent 20 minutes trying to get the metal thingie that holds the hoses together, failed, and just used a cable tie.
I hope that clamp didn’t end up somewhere that will cause me problems later....  |
If it wasn't under the right front tire, keep looking. That's the kind of thing you hear a couple of weeks later going click...click...click, and have to repair a tire. Just ask me how I know this.

I spent so many hours at about that age scrubbing parts that you wouldn't believe it. We couldn't afford chemicals, so it was "just wear out the screwdriver or brush"!
