Getting the hoses off Put some kind of sled or garbage can lid under the engine in the back to catch any coolant. You will lose about 1/2 litre. Rember: 1) Label the Horizontal "Y" and the vertical "Y" with a twist tie or marker 2) You should already have a diagram and description of which hose goes where NOW you are ready to remove things. I thought it would be easy to pull the hose off. It's not. Basically after using the needle nose vice grips to slide the manufacture's clamps off the hose or over the hump in the tube...the hose still does not pull off. It's difficult to twist and pull (which is the correct thing) because there is little room even for a twist...and the hose has some corrugated coating (don't cut that) which keeps it from kinking...but also stops you from gripping the hose. Just cut it. A utility knife cut it from the end of the hose to past the hump and then a screwdriver to pry the rubber open. Don't damage the tubing on the engine or van wall by "bending". Not recommended way to get the hose off. Even after cutting it's pretty hard.
