How do you remove and replace a lower radiator hose tube and O ring on a 93 ford taurus 3.8

 

To remove it you would drain the radiator, remove the hose from the radiator, remove the mounting bolt from the bracket and pull it out of the water pump with a twisting motion. Clean all components thoroughly and smooth the end of the tube.

To install, dip the O ring in coolant and insert it in the water pump fitting. Then lube the end of the tube with a liquid soap and push it into the O ring while twisting it in a circular motion. Insert it far enough to get your mounting bolt back into the bracket.

The hook the hose back up to the radiator and refill.

Hope this helps,

Bob
