How do you replace lower radiator hose on a Mazda Millennia 2002

Yes, this is most likely a thermostat problem.

As a basic explanation, the thermostat is the device which separates the hot coolant in the engine block from the cool coolant in your radiator. If it gets stuck closed, your radiator coolant will remain at near room temperature, while the coolant in your block (which is what your gauge reads) does not circulate and will skyrocket in temperature.

SOURCE: 1988 b2200 is overheating--we've changed out the lower radiator hose, thermostat, and the upper hose is fine. Why is it overheating? Radiator, heat pump, or water pump?

If your engine is overheating, Try this procedure:

• Dirt and debris can get lodged in the radiator air flow paths. This can block the radiator and cause your engine to overheat and damage the engine.

• The thermostat can be stuck close. If you feel the upper hose very hot and the lower hose cooler than normal, it may be a stuck thermostat.

• Make sure the radiator and the overflow bottle are filled to the proper levels.

• Bleed air from the coolant system:This is best done by running the engine with the radiator cap off until you see when the air bubbles stop coming up.

• Check the radiator fans: The easiest way is to turn on the cars air conditioner and turn up the A/C fans. Both radiator fans should come on when the A/C starts

• Make a pressure test by using a pressure testing tool (available at most auto parts stores). Use the pressure shown on your radiator cap. Most cars are 16 PSI or less, so don't exceed that pressure. Replace the radiator cap if it doesn't hold the pressure.

SOURCE: How do I bleed a 2002 Mazda Millennia coolant system

There is a spicket on the bottom left or bottom right of the radiator on some vehicles not sure about the millenia but you shouldn't have to bleed your coolest system. If you're looking to flush the radiator let the engine cool off, get a container big enough to catch all of the coolant about 2 or 3 gallons (for proper disposal) disconnect bottom radiator hose and drain into your container, you can flush with water through reservoir opening or heater core hoses (if you feel you have enough experience to do so through heater core) and to fill, reconnect bottom hose (I use 50-50 but I suggest you use what's recommended in your area) there is a cap that says something like do not remove without checking owners manual that looks like a smaller radiator cap on the left side front of your engine connected to a radiator hose. Remove this cap with engine cold and fill to top of opening, start the engine and continue to add coolest untill full and with engine running, replace cap. Fill your reservoir and you should be good to go.
