I have been trying the past 2 days with no luck getting my rad hose off at the bottom of the rad..

The clip was super rusted and broke in half.. so there is half a clip holding it on... it is pissing out coolant when ever i move the hose.

It has just become impossible for me to get to it and take it off.. please note that i dont really have a jack.. i do but its one of those cheap ones for changing your tire when your in a bind.. Suggestions would be appreciated

 

take out the radiator fans....it gives you alot more room to work from the top..
you could also consider using a razor blade and cutting the old hose off....then just replace with a new one

 

I orginally was going to save the hose and just out new clamp on it.. now i think to totally stop the leak i am having replacing the entire hose would be the best option..

 

Replace the hose.

 

And uh... drain the radiator first... [8D]
