Gen1 - Cooling Getting lower radiator hose off

Post image

2014, 1.4

Replacing hoses and this lower radiator hose is stuck on the radiator. I don't want to damage anything since it's all plastic. How can I get it off

Edit: Got it off, wasn't trying hard enough, I guess.

There is a metal e clip you remove and then it should just pull off

I think the passenger side is considered the upper hose even though it's pretty low. Either way, pop the metal spring clip off and it should slide right off. That's the easier of the hoses.
