Very simple to do.Clamp off bottom 3/4" hose which feeds the radiator. I use a rag and a needle nose vice grip.Remove retaining clip that holds this hose on overflow tank and pull off.There are two upper smaller hoses which can just be removed and put aside.Remove two bolts holding tank onto body and wiggle out tank....you will lose some residual antifreeze but make sure that the serpentine belt does not get contaminated otherwise it will squeal.There is a belt dressing spray available,but this does not always work to eliminate the squeal.Installation is the reverse.(Always remember to let engine cool down first).A new tank costs approximately $100.00 at the dealer.You can get them from a wrecking yard for a lot cheaper.....if you can find one that doesn't already leak (common problem with the Taurus).The wrecking yard will NOT guarantee a leak-free one....it's a chance to have to take.
