Hello to whom may help and have a say, the heater hose (top inlet) has a leak right as is bends around the oil dip stick. Well now that both clamps have been loosened on both ends of the hose, it is stuck on there pretty good on both ends, any suggestions from here would be greatly appreciated. Knuckle busting spot doesn't allow for needle noses or much anything else I can think of to help with this removal.

 

You might find removal easier if you slice the top of each hose end and then you can peel it off the fittings safely.Make sure you clean off the fittings before install.

 

Great tip, this was a true challenge. The end coming from firewall, this trick worked excellently. On the other end.. no room to work any kind of a tool in there, eventually it came off after an hour of tugging in this narrow cavity. This end also was a pain get back on and to line up clamp an tighten to engine. Thanks for the reply.
