Upper Radiator Hose Removal
Hello,
New here, I have a 05 A6 and I broke the nipple off of my upper radiator hose (see pic) so I've ordered the new hose, but I've never seen this type of coupler before. How do I remove this hose? I'm sure it's something simple, but before I destroy the radiator I thought I'd ask.
I've looked through the forum and didn't see anything but if I missed it, please point me in the right direction.
Thanks,
Russ

I can't see much detail on your picture. Is this the setup?

Thanks!
Thanks guys, this thread really helped me out.. The nipple on my radiator hose broke off as well and I freaked seeing all of the antifreeze leaking out of my car, but it's all fixed now thanks to this thread!
Thanks Again
