    Just a quickie, one of the hoses blew and to quickly solve the problem of the car overheating I just connected the hoses together, but now I have to hot air blower just cold. So I am trying to fix it now but I cant get the hoses off due to the lack of room. Does anyone know a good way of removing then or do you need to take the whole heater matrix off?

    Thanks

    Yeah just trying to get them off. You can see the clips but I cant quite grip them with a set of long nose pliers
