Did that already with the mirror..... I guess what worked was another hour of wiggling after the engine was warmed up to normal temps....

Need tips to removing stuck heater hose behind engine
Hi,
Need some help pulling out a heater hose that connects from the water valve to the back of the engine.
It's #5 from the real oem picture, though it looks nothing like what the pipe actually looks like. I have spent over 4 hour trying to pull, wiggle, nudge, push and pull. I even tried pouring hot, close to boiling water down the pipe, but nothing has worked.
And yes, I did remove the metal pin/clip that each of these hoses have.
Any tips is helpful. Part #64218378368

The worst thing I want to do is break the male coupling/pipe this hose connects to #7. But if I break this, then i'm screwed :bawling:

For reference, the pipe is located behind the engine where you can't see it, but you can feel around.
