i Cant get this stupid hose off any suggestions?
If u have access to some large pliers like 20 inchers put them on the hose where the male part of the rad is. Without applying to much pressure as not to damage the outlet or male part of the rad start twisting the the hose around once it starts spinning take a smaller set of pliers and pull on the hose while u twist it back and forth. U might want to cut the hose down to about 6 or 7 inches to make it a little easier to pull off.:icon_bigg

Get a boxed end 12mm wrench and apply pressure on the belt to keep the fan from spinning while u break those bolts loose.:icon_bigg

thats what i tried ^^^ but im just rounding out the nuts. im going to try some wd40
WD40 aint gonna get it. Get some PBlaster spray and leave it for about a half hour then try it again. Also try an open end 12mm and go from bolt to bolt even if their acting like they don't want to break.

trash the crappy 7m lower radiator hose and get an mkii hose for it. it's a much more simple design, less restrictive, more straight, and opens up some space. :)
