There is generally no relationship between replacing a radiator hose and a car not starting. However, it is possible that the engine overheated and has a cracked head. It is also possible that something was accidently disconnected when replacing the hose.

Changing the radiator hose in the back of a motor requires the following steps: Disconnect the negative battery terminal. Drain the coolant from the radiator. Remove the old radiator hose. Clean the hose connection with a wire brush. Install the new radiator hose. Re-fill the radiator with coolant. Re-connect the negative battery terminal.It is important to note that when removing the old radiator hose you may need to use a pair of pliers to loosen the clamp. Additionally when replacing the new radiator hose it is important to ensure that it is securely connected to the motor.
1. Get a new radiator hose 2. Turn off your car and let it cool down 3. drain your radiator below the level of te hose you are replacing 4. remove hose clamps and take off old radiator hose 5. install new radiator hose and tighten hose clamps 6.

Drain the radiator. disconnect the top radiator hose from the engine. Remove the water inlet that the hose was hooked to. The thermostat is in the housing. Replace the gasket when replacing the thermostat.
A leak in a coolant system can usually be fixed by replacing a hose. If the leak is at the end of the hose, a new clamp might be necessary. If the radiator is leaking, the radiator might need to be replaced.
IF IT WAS NOT OVERHEATING BEFORE THE HOSE WAS REPLACED -- MORE THAN LIKELY YOU HAVE AIR POCKETS TRAPPED IN YOUR COOLING SYSTEM

Well ... I just had to replace the top radiator hose (only) on my 1999 Grand Voyager *tonight* and found your question when I was looking for hints ;) It turns out that replacing the top hose is a piece of cake. Initially, the access to the radiator end of the hose is poor. I had to remove a bit of the trim above the grill. This exposed the hose clamp for the end going into the radiator. At that point, it was no problem.
