How to change upper and lower Radiator Hoses on a 2006 Ford Taurus SE 6 Cylinder?

changing the upper one is pretty easy but the lower one is a little bit of a pain/ i usually remove coolant lines at rad base for the trans/unhook the hoses upper and lower at rad/ remove top cover and disconnect rad and pull out from top/ catch all old freexe and discard properly/ then remove hoses from block top and bottom and reassemble/ usually i replace t/stat at the same time/when rad is in w lower hose attached i usally fill block up w/ a/freeze at t/stat/ i then install stat and hose and then attach hose and fill rad/ with coolant in block it gives a head start on bleeding system
