Ok i got my new omp to replace the last one i broke. last time i didnt remove the lower radiator hose and it cuased lots of problems for me. So this time i decided to i got the coolant drained and clamp off the hose but the bitch wont come off any one have an idea. I dont want to cut it off. If i do ill have to wait till wednsday for a new one. And i probably miss spelled a buch of **** but im in a hurry.

yeah they can be on there quite hard, try using a screw driver to break it loose, if you can twist it, it will come loose. I usually just cut and replace them.

i like to put a small screw driver between the hose and the thing the hose is on. and go around it will usually break the seal

I finally got it off, i had already done the screw driver thing when i posted this. What i did was have some one help me by holding onto the radiator while i pulled the **** out of the hose. it worked pretty good. Its all back together now with no leaks from the omp or cooling system. When the car started up all it was was a big cloud of smoke i was in the car with the door open and the smoke filled the whole inside, guess thats what happens when you leave them sitting tilted and unstartd for a week.
