Im in the middle of taking my enlarged throttle body out to replace it with my standard one. Im stuck on the last part. The small black hose that connects to the gold part on the throttle body. Ive moved the clamp but cant get the hose off. What could i use to get it off?
Advice would be helpful asap
Thanks Luca

Boil a kettle and pour hot water over the hose then brute force and ignorance, a gentle pursuasion of the hose in a rotaion direction with pliers might help but you dont want to damage the hose.

Had the same problem! Its a nightmare to get off

Think I used something to break the seal around it as it seemed to be almost bonded on. Petrol for you....

Done it with just brute force

Thanks for the tips.
