i was thinking screwdriver but didnt want a hole in it. i was thinking about cutting it off but then i bet its like £10 for a new one. hot water one sounds good if it'll work | |

I wouldn't use a screwdriver incase you put a hole in it. | |

pour very hot water on the pipe slowly so it can heat up gradually, then it puuls off a hell of a lot easier :thumbs: | |

As above, trying to change the coolant on my birds micra 2004, got the jubilee clip off put the pipe is stuck on (its the pipe that comes out bottom of radiator), when i pull on it, it just stretches the rubber rather than pull the pipe off. |
