All of the hoses at the water pump are reachable with long screw drivers. When I did mine, I moved but did not disconnect the overflow tank, I was replacing the black T connection for the heater control, so that made access to the area under the manifold runners accessable. Pull it if needed, you should be replacing that also as it is bound to fail ($37 at dealer, check with sobstory or eeuroparts). I recall pulling a bolt on a metal tube that I think was either part of the fuel system or part of the cooling system that runs under the manifold and moving it aside to gain additional access. After that it is easy to get in there to push the hoses on unless you have mitts like one of the Sopranos.
Make sure the outside of the outlets are all dry before reinstalling the hoses. I use a little brake clean on a rag to remove any dirt or coolant so the inside of the hose grips the clean, dry outlet. Make sure the lower hose does not rub on any bolts or mountings as it makes its way to the radiator. Two hour job all in, working carefully. Also consider replacing the temp sending switch while you are at it.
