You needed a radiator hose pick.Yeah that was my *plan* as well lol I had it assembled ready to go but that hose is literally glued onto the pipe. After I took off the clamp and tried everything to get the hose off, I ended up having to cut the hose just before it reached the pipe (I used tin snips because scissors wouldn’t work). As soon as I did this all of the coolant started pouring out so I did my best to plug the hole with my finger while cutting off the leftover rubber still on the fitting and peeling it off because like I said it was like glued on there! As soon as that was off then yeah I put the valve on and tightened the clamps and I was good to go. Definitely did not go as easily as I thought it would though since I couldn’t just pull the hose off the fitting.
