What is this hose and is it okay for me to just unclamp it and remove it from the radiator?

 

Which one? There are about 5 hoses in that picture?

If you're talking about the large diameter hose with the clamp loosened, that is your upper radiator hose.

If you pull it loose you'll spill coolant everywhere unless you drained it already.

You will also have to bleed to cooling system so your heater will work again.

 

wow, just wow.

 

Wow indeed. I get why most flame noobs but this is pretty bad.

 

Your radiator clamp is loose as well. I would assume you knew this, but considering the original question I want to make sure.

 

that hose is not needed, you can remove it

 

Makes sure that you properly warm up the car before removing the hose.

 

 

Yeah I need to remove the hose with clamp loosened my bad I didn't look closely at the pic to see if there were anymore hoses. But how can I safely remove this hose from my radiator, like I pulled it and coolant came out, can I just drain it all that way and it be fine after? And just refill it after I put it back

 

you should not need to refill it. it's just the top hose and not much will come out. Just put it back on and you should be good.

 

Why are you removing it?

Epic

 

I'm trying to take off the radiator so I can replace the lh side radiator support

 

Sounds like you do not know what you're doing, bleeding all the air out of your system is going to be a real birch.

 

 

I already have everything ready to be switched out, this hose is the only thing holding the radiator to the car. And if I have to bleed something can you let me know so I can ask for assistance on that. I bled my brakes before, so what do I have to do for this.

 

I just realized you're the guy that the tree hit... lololol

OK- let's start from the beginning. What are you trying to do here? The upper radiator hose is also paired with the lower radiator hose, and if you already pulled THAT, than you mist have already drained the radiator, right? After you get through with reinstalling everything, you will need to properly refiill the radiator so you don't trap air and cause overheating.
