Serpentine Belt

Looks like you have to remove the upper radiator hose to change the serpentine belt. Is this true?

Here's a pIc of the around the belt rad hose.
That's an old Ford part number in the pic.
The new number is F81-Z8260-CA.

Ed's price - $23.10

Thanks for the heads up Barry but that's just a reflection of the bolt head in that black enamel paint. That pic is over two years old.

I inserted my own. That's my rig on the flatbed. Failure of a non-OEM part, but not NAPA. I vooddoo'd my own truck by not using OEM, Baby.
