Go to your local auto parts store, purchase the correct hose.
undo the clamps on either end of the old hose, if the clamps are shot get new ones
remove hose, you may have to wiggle it back and forth where it connects to get it loose
put new hose on in the same direction as the old hose, MAKE SURE THE CLAMPS ARE ON THE HOSE, such as loose hanging on the hose like a bracelet on a wrist.
Put the hose on with room to apply the clamp and have a bit of extra on each end.
put clamps on each end and tighten carefully do not over tighten.
wiggle the hose after you have applied the clamps to make sure it wont come off
you're done!
Follow the LOWER radiator hose from the radiator . It connects to the water pump on the engine on a 1998 Ford Windstar
To remove a water pump from a 1998 Ford Windstar 3.0, you will need a tool called a tensioner. Disconnect the radiator and water hoses, then remove the water pump assembly.
I just had my water pump replaced on my '96 Windstar at a Ford dealer and it cost me $575.

If you have Mazda 323 anywhere from 1994 - 1998 and the radiator starts to boil after running it for a couple of minutes, check if you temp goes higher than normal. If this is the case, this is most likely to do with your thermostat which is probably jammed shut which doesn't let the cooled water run through into your engine. When this happens the outlet of water from your engine is boiling the water which is jammed. Theres two water pipes connecting the radiator to the engine the lower pipe on the left is the outlet from your engine and the higher right side is the outlet into your engine. If you remove the higher right hand side pipe which is normally held on by a jubilee clip makesure your engine is cool. Undo the 3 bolts to the inlet which is connecting the radiator pipe to your engine and you will see your thermostat pop it off with a knife or a screwdriver. You should be able to pick up a thermostat for around £6. Replace with a new one, replace your inlet and your radiator pipe. Refill your radiator and your problem should be solved. Good Luck.
