Leaking heater hose - 9/27/2008 4:59:04 PM    imjrk Posts: 48 Joined: 2/13/2007 Status: offline ''96 Accord, VTECH, auto: Replaced hoses when I replaced engine, BUT used the factory hose clamps.  Of course, now one is leaking at the firewall.  How do I get in there to replace the hose clamp?  Looks to me like I would need to remove the upper intake manifold to have enough room to replace the hose clamps.  Any better way, or do I need to take the manifold apart?  Thanks  Post #: 1
