I'm going to replace my belts and hoses
I was going to change the coolant and thermostat but no body has it in stock so can I replace my hoses and reuse my coolant that's already in there?
When I can get the thermostat i will do a flush. Also how to replace the 4 belts?

I'm not a big fan of reusing coolant and would just wait until you had the tstat and hoses until doing the flush. Will you be adding a coolant filter at the same time?

As far as belts, just loosen the appropriate bolts and the components will slide along the tensioning track to give you slack to remove the belts. What brand of belts are you using? I only ask because I've seen some cheap rubber belts not hold up; I've been a big fan of Razorbacks by Goodyear and have found them to hold up well
