I wouldn't say the heater hoses on my van were accessible. They were definitely under the cowl and to the side of the alternator. Basically there's stuff all around them and barely enough room to work. It was a PIA but I'm glad i did it. I've had to top off my coolant several times since the install. I can't find a leak anywhere. I'll start to worry once I've topped off more than a gallon of coolant..for now, I'm just keeping an eye on it.
Too bad your not closer, I'd be glad to give you a hand with the install.
BTW, I put together an emergency repair kit. It's a length of 3/4" heater hose, barbed fittings and hose clamps....just in case. I had to buy a whole pack of the 3/4 barbed fittings and only needed two so if you decide to do the same send me a PM.
