I got 5/8" hose but haven't installed them yet, so I can't confirm that it's the correct size.

I'm 99% it's 5/8".
If Corey responded to his PM's, he'd have the info.

One of them is completely 5/8"

The other one is that Y piece...from the pump to the y is 3/4", from one end of the y to the heater core is 5/8" and from the other end of the y to the coolant tank is 1 1/16 I believe.
