How to Properly Maintain a Cooling Hose and What Steps Should You Follow for a Ford Windstar?

You need to drain the engine cooling system before starting coolant line or hose servicing and repair work. Moving forward disconnect the main hose and bypass hose as well as the air cleaner. First support the vehicle at a raised position then remove the bypass tube bolt before moving the bracket aside before lowering the vehicle. Move forward to remove the water bypass tube that is currently present on the vehicle. Reverse the installation steps while refilling the engine cooling system. The use of Extended Life Engine Coolant F6AZ-19544-AA under Ford specification WSS-M97B44-D (orange color) needs to be prohibited while active avoidance of blending Standard (green) Coolant with Extended Life Coolant (orange) is necessary.
