I don't know how to get to the entire hose, but I fixed a similar problem as follows:

The kink in the hose was in the area right behind the squirter. I removed the squirter and the hose attached to it, while the other end of the hose remained wherever it was. Cut off about 1" of kinked hose and re-attached the remaining good hose to the new squirter and reinstalled.

Did I say NEW squirter? Yes, you'll likely destroy the old one prying it out, so buy a new one first.

Good luck, Jim Davis 87 GL Syncro 88 GL Wolfsburg
