Help with Hose...

Any tricks to getting this thing off besides cutting it off? It has a huge hole in the back...

Also would a leak here cause any major issues, cause the car seemed to run fine, I just stumbled across it.

If it's got a hole in it, why not just cut it off and replace it with a new one?

Get a big screwdriver and use it as a lever to slowly nudge it off. Likewise, a set of pliers could do the job as well. Also, read the comment above by quicksilver.

IME new hoses are much more flexible. That particular hose is pretty tight, but if you put a little PB blaster on the surfaces it shouldn't be too hard.
