Re: 98 Escort Lower Radiator Hose Removal and Replacement

Ford usually installs those dreaded clamps that you must squeeze together... I hat those things. Whatever you do to get it off, replace it with a common screw type clamp and it will be easier in the future.

FYI, the hose goes from the radiator to the water pump, not the intake manifold.

Basically, you just need to remove whatever is in your way. Take the belt off and you might have enough wiggle room... If you haven't already, try removing the wheel and see if you can get a better angle on everything.
