if it is the "pinch" style clamp you will need a pair of hose clamp pliers that are made for that type of clamp. they make some that use bicycle brake cables for better reach. you can get it at a auto parts store like pep boys or kragen. those clamps are a pain in the a$$ but with the right tools you can get to it without removing any components

There is a 3/8" square head plug above the starter. This drains the left bank of the block and can be replaced with a 1/4" pipe valve.

Hi Ryan, It would seem as if there is a build up of chemical deposits which have reacted inside the hose. Gently keep moving it back and forth until the chemical seal breaks and you are able to remove it. Happy new year and Regards John
