I got the short elbow bypass coolant hose up front by dist., and the driver side heater hose to control valve, how to get heater hose next to it(passenger side, right next to it)heater control valve) off and short L shaped one(looks like it has a cotter pin thru clamp/it??) to heater control valve on driver side firewall? They have factory clamps and I just cant get to them enough to swap them out!
Any hints would be great, and I think I may need offset/bent needle nose pliers to do it?

Take what's in your way off....saves time and frustration....or you can play for hours

finally got em all changed yesterday! What a PITA!! Had to use 3 different types of pliers, but reinstalled new adjustable clamps, those factory ones are a booger!!!
