How to replace a radiator hose on 2000 Ford Taurus?
My radiator hose split on my 2000 Ford Taurus. My husband can get to the top connection but is having trouble getting to the bottom connection. Any ideas?

Which hose are you referring to? Is it the upper rad hose or lower rad hose? What engine does it have, the 3.0L OHV V6 or 3.0L DOHC 24-valve V6? The hose clamps on this particular car use a "squeeze-clamp" type hose clamps which can be difficult to remove, if the hose is in a difficult to access area. For this job, a special tool like the one pictured in the link below will greatly reduce the time required to service the hose clamps. Hope this helps.
