I am installing the CVF hot and cold intercooler pipes. I've removed the hot pipes but damn, the recirculation hose is on there TIGHT. Any recommendations on how to loosen/remove it so I am able to reuse it on the new pipes.

You might just have to grab it with channel locks and twist till it frees up.

Or trim the hose off right at the top of the fitting. It looks like regular old pressure rated hose though so it should be able to be gotten at your local autopart store.

Its higher pressure though so specify it has to be high pressure flexible line, not low pressure. Check the burst pressure rating

A little bit of gentle prying did it. Thanks!
