Heater Return Hose Help

[ClaytonT]

Hi

I am trying to replace my heater return hose but the aftermarket intercooler piping is in the way not allowing me to take the attachment to the water pump off. I’ve popped the circlip but there’s not enough room behind it for it to come off. I had the intercooler installed at a shop so I don’t know how to remove the piping that’s now in the way. Can somebody please help, I can’t find any videos that explain how to remove this intercooler piping, only install. I’m stuck.

Thank you

Loosen the FMIC coupler tbolts and then the cooler itself will be held in by two bolts under the radiator/fan assembly, lower that a bit to free yourself some space.
