420A 420a Coolant hose

Anyone know what this hose is called and how I can remove it from the car? I got one of the sides off but I can’t get the back. (I already took off the clip with long needle nose pliers)

That's the heater hose. It's a good idea to replace both of them. I bought mine on RockAuto for around $5 each for Dayco hoses.

I had my intake manifold removed when I replaced my hoses. My only tip is to be careful when removing the hoses from the ports on the firewall. They're very soft and you can bend them.

if its not coming off at the heater core your gonna need to cut it.
But like BLACK'98DSM said, its easy to f*** up the heater core lines coming out of the firewall, if you do, the heater core will have to be replaced and its sucks ass to do. You have to pull the dash.
