snipped---- This will release the pressure on the hose and allow you to work the clamp off the end of the pipe it is on. end snipped-----

PLEASE do not attempt to work on your cooling system at all, if the engine has been run recently, and is the slightest bit hot. I know most of us understand what can happen, but if one was not so experienced, and just dove in there, after the Vanagon had been running steady for an hour, and tried removing a cooling line, boiling coolant could explode everywhere.

I just wanted to mention this, as it is better to be safer with these things, than sorry.
