The most fun is going to be the the grommets in the radiator surround.
If you plan on using the old ones they will be very hard and hard to get
out and back in. I'd recommend going with new. And still it's a crashing
bore. I've been most successful with lots of silicon lube and putting
them on to the hose before snaking the hose through the surround and
then using either a very blunt flathead screwdriver or preferably, if
you have one, a cotter pin puller, you MAY be able to force the rubber
through the sheet metal. Just getting those things seated is a two ale
job. It's not quite as much fun as the rubber brick in the heater unit.
IIR, the compression nut size is 7/8, but as mentioned you want to have
a wrench on the cooler side of the fitting as well.
