Anyone ever replace the radiator hoses before? My hose has been leaking and now the leak is very bad. I have to replace the host before I can drive the car. I have the host and sensor but its so hard to get to. Its the radiator return hose on the left

Got the old hoses off. I can't get the new ones on, they have the clip you pull back and it should go right on. Does anyone know if there is anything special I need to do?? Help

I need to replace the same hose on the passenger side for my 2004 545i with about 60k miles.
1) Is there a drain plug and where to lower the coolant level in the radiator?
2) How did you remove the old hose and install the new one?
Help is appreciated.
