What's up, guys? I'm Andy from 1A Auto. I'm going to show you a quick little trick if you're having trouble getting a coolant hose off. A lot of times these coolant hoses with the rubber, when they heat and expand, heating and cooling, they get stuck to whatever they're attached to. Twisting the hose might work for you. Another trick is taking a pick. We actually sell these picks at 1AAuto.com. You get underneath the hose and then you just go all the way around the hose just like that. That loosens up that seal and then you slide it right off.
