If it is heater hoses, it should not be too difficult as the book time is 0.5 for 4 cyl engines and 0.7 for V6.

Locate the hose that you wish to replace and at either end of hose there would be a spring clamp. Use a plier to release the clamp and move it away from the locked position. Slowly twist off heater hose at engine side. At heeater core side it is best to use a sharp blade to cut the hose ( take care not to damage the heater core joints).
