Cooling system hoses (Escort 5)

Check the condition of the cooling system hoses and if a defect is found, replace the hose as follows.

Drain the coolant from the cooling system.

Remove the hose clamps and slide the clamps down the hose. Pull the hose off the fitting.

If the hose does not come off the fitting, then simultaneously with the removal, turn the hose to the sides. When removing the cooling system hoses from the radiator, be careful, because the fittings on the radiator are fragile.

Install the hose on the fitting and secure it with a clamp. Fill the cooling system with coolant.

Check the cooling system for leaks.
