Well, I think I finally got it far enough into the female side that the Spring Clip engaged the male side. I was having a hard time pulling up on the hose so that it would fully fit into the upper part. I ended up using a screwdriver shaft to put some force on the flange on the Male side. My next challenge is to refill the coolant. Since it was the lower hose all the coolant came out and the only obvious way to add coolant by using the expansion tank. It seems like that will take quite a while but I'm sure I can find a way to add it. In case anyone's interested, I have included a photo showing the hose connection with the spring clamp in place.
