Same here. Just replaced the wife's 09 with a Dorman (non tow) unit and it worked just fine without removing the hose. It is tight and take some wriggling with the metal heat shield in place but I do like it much better than the factory heat shield. No lower hose mount here either. And no issues getting the connection to snap firmly in place - it snapped in just like the factory connection and is rock solid. My biggest problem was getting the passenger side fan assembly bolt back in. My hands were just a little too big to fit easily in there and I struggled for nearly 20 minutes before I finally got enough leverage and hit the threads just right - was on the verge of removing the hose to the overflow to gain more room but thankfully it didn't come to that... Thanks for the excellent instructions! Always nice to save some $$. I figure at least $4 to 500 extra bux in my pocket!

Rough guestimate 60/40 interstate/around town. Bought new. Original pads.

Just replaced my wife's '09 pads, front and rear, at 82,000 miles. They could have gone a little longer but I didn't want to push it. There is nothing wrong with the brakes on the Edge.
