When trying to remove the heater hose assembly, the rubber hose on back side is connected to the car via hose clamp, however it’s in an area that’s too tight for most tools and can’t seem to get anything on to pinch the hose clamp. Anyway to bypass this or even remove easier?

Hi Bobby,

Which style hose clamp is it? Is it the clamp type or screw type? I am going to assume it is the clamp type. If this is the case you need one of the tools pictured in the attachment. This is flexible so you can place it on the clamp and then just squeeze the handle and it will release the clamp.

Let me know if you are still having issue and we can try to figure something else out.
