Click on image for the Amazon link. ARES Hose Removal Tool
Here's a better idea, and for only $7.12. When I come upon a coolant hose that has likely been in place for 20 or 30 years, it's not going to like being disturbed. Fossilized by corrosion, it's a recipe for busted knuckles and involuntary profanity. This tool has just the right curves to work its way under the hose, breaking it loose enough to be pulled off by hand.
In the photo below I'm using it to remove a short section of hose on an '86 VFR which is all but impossible to work off without a tool like this (see the next post).
