What’s the best way to remoge this hose/clip? I am replacing water pump and tstat and another hose and potentially this hose pictured even though it doesn’t look to bad but it is original hose..

The clip that’s included is one of those squeeze clamps. But the one installed seems differnt.

Appreciate it.

That hose unbolts from the engine block. It comes with a new metal pipe as a replacement hose.

you dont remove the hard pipe from the block, its hard to get and if you dont change the seal , it will leak.

if you dont have access to the metal clip, you cut it with a dremel.

Use provided hose clamp when you put the rubber hose back.

I replaced mine. It's never leaked in 200,000 miles. The BMW part comes with a new pipe and o-ring.
