Hey guys im in abit of a dilemma here so ive got a cracked hose that's connected from the IACV to the engine block right under the IM.. Problem is their is no room whatsoever to try and take this hose out.. Just wondering if anyone had any suggestions from experience to remove this hose would be much appreciated.. Thanks..

(Middle Bypass hose is the one im trying to remove)

plenty of room

jack the car up to gain access from under the car or unbolt the IACV

I tried from underneath the car but cant manage to get my hand through as the space is really tight for where the hose is connected to from the IACV.. The problem is the crack is located right on the connection at the engine block, ill try jacking up the car again and have a look but theirs no way i can remove it from the top.. Thanks for your input anyways..

if you have to pull the intake manifold off, you shouldnt need to but again this wouldnt take long, only thing i i recomend one of those reusable plastic gaskets..not because of the alleged heat reduction.

Angle pliers should be fine. Just to remove the clamp, then wiggle the hose over the nipple so it comes a bit loose.
