water pump coolant hose <-- chop

Is there a magic way to pull off the coolant hose running from the water pump to the throttle body? It's majorly stuck to the throttle body. I'm replacing the PD and hoping to take off the throttle body to clean it thoroughly while I'm at it. Otherwise... chop-chop....

If it's really stuck you might end up having to chop it. No big deal replacing it might be a good idea anyways.

take a pair of storks or any pair of plyers and twist the hose. If not, snip it and buy a new one.

yep... i just cut it with a swiss blade, guess i'll add that to the other hoses i'm buying, might as well for safety... since my daily driver burst a hose last week and had to get a rental since my RX7 was also down for the count
