Need some advice

I have a 07 rx8 auto. Having trouble staying cool. How big of a job is it to replace radiator hoses? When I pour coolant into the reservoir, it just pours straight out. I definitely cracked a hose while driving when it ran really hot. Any advice?

Hoses are not bad at all, but given that it's an 07 the plastic radiator and its nipples are probably holding on a prayer and will crumble when you try to get hoses off. So I'd plan for a rad replacement.

How hot did it get? These engines don't love overheating.
