Did you take the compressor and alternator off as well?

Its possible but difficult, Your best bet would be to remove those brackets, that way you can verify the hose clamp goes back on right

ok thanks,it seems like the bypass hose is ,melted onto the stem,which makes it next to impossible to remove,just not enough room to get leverage on it.Good time to replace all the hoses,Thanks
