Seeking the wisdom of the esteemed users of this forum:

Burst a heater hose on my 1993 LWB Vitara and bought replacements (both). Does anyone have any simple hints about replacing the heater hose that goes under the inlet manifold?

I have seen some posts around removing what seems to be the whole top of the motor, and I'm not too keen to try that, so was wondering if someone has a 'secret', easier method?

I am also thinking that trying to put a clamp that tightens with a screwdriver is not going to happen (on this hose) unless everything is removed?

Thanks in advance...
