lean over the engine.....and reach down with two hands>>>>
you can do it...but it is tight.....PITA job, but if you can get a good grip on it, it will come off...
When putting the new hose on, lightly coat with edge of the hose with silicone.....it will slide on much easier.....do not over do it...it gets hot there and silicone in liquid form is flammable...;-)

Hug your motor...>
It probably needs it..
Get your left hand down between the engine anf the firewall with a stubby 7mm ratchet in your hand. You have to workk completely by feel to loosen the clamp (you may need to remove the strut bar unless you're really skinny). Once the clamp is off, use the "rope trick" to pop the hose off if it doesn't on it's own...
