If the engine is the 24 valve "Duratec", then the majority of owners report that removing the upper intake manifold makes the job a whole lots easier.

The 12 valve "Vulcan" provides enough room to be able to access the rear bank, cylinder numbers 1-3, without removing the manifold.

How do you change the water hose under the intake?

What's under the intake is not a hose, it's a pipe which a hose attaches to behind the intake manifold near the firewall. If the hose is leaking, it's a relatively easy task to replace it. If the pipe is leaking, you will have to remove the intake manifold which is not an easy task (minimum 6 hours to remove and replace the manifold!)

Basically you remove the throttle body, fuel rail, and anything else that is plugging into it, then unbolt it. You need to get a shop manual however, because there is a specific bolt pattern you need to use to avoid damage.
