Radiator hose

Radiator hose
so one of my radiator hoses decided to bust all over the inside of my hood and leave me stranded. I'm having it towed to my house now and will be able to see what happened a bit more. I've never changed hoses out before but seems pretty straight forward. Yall got any tips before I get started? On the bright side I have a project for the weekend lol.

Pressure test the system once you have a new hose installed to verify there aren't any other leaks. While the system is drained down you should probably replace the coolant bleed valve in the heater core hose since they are prone to failing.
Read up on how to properly burp the coolant system, if you just dump in a bunch of coolant like it was an old Chevy then you are guaranteed to have issues.
