Is an upper radiator hose an easy fix on a 94 Taurus, mine is leaking, not much car know how?

My upper rad hose is spewing fluid, is this something I can change with no much car experience, it%26#039;s a 1994 Ford Taurus?|||You can do it yourself, you don%26#039;t need a mechanic for that, just as was mentioned before, 2 clamps need to be removed and put the new on, make sure you have the clamps around the hose before attaching it on each end, then slide the clamps over the hose to where they can be lined up and tightened around the metal tubing, You might want to check the condition of your lower hose also.|||Look at the ends of the hose, on the radiator and the top of the engine. There should be clamps at both ends. Either squeeze clamps or the type that have the screw head that you loosen.


Take off both clamps, twist the hose at the connection, pull the hose off and put the new one on.


A little oil spread inside the new hoses makes it easier to get on, a little oil.


Reuse the clamps, if you can or buy new ones.


Fill the coolant.|||that,s a easy fix. just drain the radiator down some, take 2 clamps off, take the old hose off and put the new hose on. tighten the clamps and refill the radiator.
