Its getting the hoses off and on at bottom of the AOS
From what I'm understanding... the accordion hose at the bottom, with the spring loaded clip... just cut right through it. You're not going to reuse it. You going to replace it.

I purchased the Sears tool to compress that springs and, then, after reading more posts about the AOS replacement read more and more about cutting that hose.

My plan, when replacing the AOS, is to do a bunch of other stuff while I'm in there. Plugs. Tubes. WP. LTT. Wheels coming off. Under carriage plastic coming off... fender liners... I'm opening that MF up for as much room as possible.

Read as many posts as you can... and figure out what else you can do while you're down there.
