Default Coolant hose removal around TB
I'm going to take the throttle body off and degrease along with cleanign the IAV but i'm having trouble getting the coolant hoses off carefully because I don't want to rip them. Does anyone have any tips for removing these hoses or is it a case of pull hard and see what happens ?

Think those hoses are reinforced.

WD40, and needle nose plyers.

Soak the ends and then twist with the plyers untill totally loose.

The hoses are reinforced.

A flathead screwdriver is also useful once it has been removed slightly.

+1 for needle nose pliers, and a twisting action.

You need to twist them where they connect at the nozzle - I had the same problem installing my SC etc a month back.
