I tried pulling the hose off of a car at the junkyard, and I absolutely could NOT do it...I don't know why.. .. it seems like the fitting that attaches to the pump was never meant to be removed through such a small space. I wrestled with it and cursed for over 2 hours un I finally gave up with the hose only partially removed. Never before has a car defeated me like that. >:-|. I have decided to have my mechanic do the job...even if it is going to cost $350... ouch.
