You'll find that after that coolant tank... the AOS will be childs play. A 7 year old child.

Just be careful with all the tubes attached to the old AOS, and when installing the new one. That plastic can be brittle, and that's a can of worms even I wouldn't want to **************** with.

I read a vast amount about the AOS install and, when all was said and done, it was 50% less taxing than many describe. Be sure to install it fron the top and bottom (rear wheel well). Cut off the rubber piece on the very bottom of the old AOS. You're not going to need it, and it's better than struggling with the clamp when, again, you're just going to toss it.

Be certain to get the new J tube for the top, as the AOS design was updated. I fabricated a "joint", cutting out a piece of the old J tube and inserting a thick, heavy, oil resistant hose, but it looked like ****************. The new J tube I bought from Pelican for ~$35.

Best wishes!
