going to change the heater hose assembly on a 2000 Taurus and was going to take off the upper manifold. I purchase a gasket for when I take it off. Is it as simple as take it off clean it put the gasket on and tighten it up. if someone can walk me thru it. I am also replaceing the heater core

 

Subject says Heater Core, but your changing just a heater hose?
