Who designed this thing/ forgive me for I have sined

So I went and got a water pump for my wifes grand, Figured 2 hours tops. I cant even get the bottom hose clamp of and its been an hour already. You have to have 6 foot long etheopian arms to get to the damn thing. Im about to cut the hose, unless someone knows a trick.

Thanks I needed to vent

remove the radiator? thats whay I had to do on my xj...that should get you enough room to get in there

 

[LilCJ5]

Thats the hose clamp Im talking about, is the bottom radiator hose. Its stuck between the all the cross members, and supports, and skid plates.

I took it to a shop, to have it done. I know its a sin but I was tired of fighting and its colder than a well diggers ass out side.

no offense, but when you have to use a childrens sled as a creeper, THEN you can bitch about the cold.

If were going to compare cold stories - here ya go:

I went to work yesterday morning (custom trailer place) and all the steel on the rack was frozen together and the bandsaw's lube system froze- had to use spray lube out of a can (not so good for the blade)

Even with the heaters running in the shop condensation was dripping from the rafters and freezing on the floor...

It was pretty fun until about mid-day when the sun cooked things a little :flipoff2:

Well according to weather.com it's 17* in "sunny" Susanville, CA right now. But I'm sure your bad Oregon ass dances around naked outside in 17* weather.

I'da taken it to a shop, too. Fawk workin' in the cold.

Now when did it get that cold around here? Sure it's been a bit nippy but nothing under 25* Atleast you got the sun, I haven't seen the sun for 3 days :flipoff2:

 

[PHSJeeper]

[xjpart2]

are we talkin 4.0 or 5.2 zj? i know on my xj it was simple to do the waterpump, the worst part was figuring out which ps tensioner bolts went where (all the same size but different lengths).
