Has "goofy" clip holding it to the heater core good luck getting the clips apart without breaking them. New hose comes with new clips so it's ok to break them
No you have to order them because they are specially molded.

I just had a radiator put in my 2000 Honda accord Friday today the car over heated I had it towed back to the shop that did the work they charged me for a heater hose and the tow
if you dont know how to change out a water hose your an idiot!!!!
Loosen the dash and pull out the complete heater box after you have disconnected the heater hose from the firewall...........
A blocked heater hose could cause a leak. A stopped up heater core could as well. Or the connector in the Windstar could be cracked.
follow the upper radiator hose, that should lead you to it.
if it has one it is in heater hose at firewall if it has one it is in heater hose at firewall
Drain the coolant, unclamp the old hose, remove the old hose, install the new hose, clamp the new hose in, fill up the coolant.
You know the heater hose on a vehicle needs replacing when it beings to swell and soften. The heater hose runs from the intake manifold to the heater core.
Unfortunately, the easiest way to change the hose (firewall connections) is from under the car. If your Achieva has the dual hose with the black valve across both lines, make sure you go to the dealer for the replacement. It's important for proper operation. Replacing with regular heater hose will cause problems down the road.
If the heater core is plugged you can try flushing it out. Disconnect the two heater hoses from the engine, connect a garden hose to either hose leading to the heater and gently turn on the water, gradually open water valve all the way until water runs clear then switch water hose to opposite heater hose and repeat. If the heater core is leaking and needs replacement I would strongly suggest purchasing a shop manual to walk you through the job of replacing the heater core. This is not a simple job.
