coolant pipe stuck

hey guys as some of you may know i am starting work on my fpr. but hit a stag straight away i am trying to remove the coolant pipe closest to the fpr. i have removed the pressure clip but cannot get the pipe to budge. is there anything i can do to get it off because i think brute force might damage the pipe

www.discovery2.co.uk / Workshop / Fuel Pressure Regulator <- few helpful tips there

i am working of that however they did not remover the coolant pipe which i need to do as i cant fit my hands in other wise

cheers

If its the one that goes into the bulk head can you not get a flat head screwdriver and push on the edge of the pipe and lever it off

fine but not sharp bladed screwdriver ,force between the hose and pipe and prise around till its free

couldnt get it of so bit the bullet and cut it.

That's a bit drastic, you still have to get the remains off, i find a pair of grips with a little wd40 first helps every time, but if it works for you
