While all vehicle water pump hoses are replaced "basically" the same way there are different ways of removing them.
First, be sure to allow the vehicle to cool down before attempting to remove a hose of you will get burned.
If the lower hose is being replaced you must first drain the radiator completly so be sure to use some kind of container to capture the anti freeze, even if your nor going to re-use it. Of course if the lower hose blew out while driving, your radiator will already be empty.
If the upper hose is being replaced you still have to remove some of the antifreeze, to below the level of the hose.
Be sure to have some rags on hand to soak up any spilled antifreeze
After the vehicle has cooled down, carefully remove the radiator cap, drain the radiator as needed, remove the hose clamps, grab and twist the hoses close to the mounting point to remove. Sometimes the hoses need a little coaxing so be patient.
Place the clamps on the new hose, being sure they are loose. If the removed clamps are old I would suggest replacing them with new ones. Install new hose and tighten the clamps.
Be sure to refill the radiator !
Start the motor and check for leaks. If needed, retighten the clamps. Drive for a few minutes and re-check for leaks.
