Point of interest number one, the water hose diagram the dealer uses to look up parts is different from the one in the service manual.
That said, when I started taking out hoses Monday night to get ready for installation last night, I accidently took off one hose I hadn't intended to replace. As luck would have it, that hose was about 3x the cost of all the other hoses I was replacing. :-\ Even better, they gave me the wrong one, so that's going back today. Last night I got the three hoses back on that I could replace from the top side. The others I have can't really be accessed from the top side without taking the intake manifold off, but you can't easily get to them from the bottom without taking the oil filter off, either. I think I'm going to be changing my oil a few hundred miles early. :-P
Hopefully all goes well and I can be back on the road tonight. I'm getting tired of driving the Neon already (or more specifically, it's really cold outside in the morning, and the Neon isn't garaged).
