The method that I usually use on my cars is to make a lengthwise cut at each end but the reinforcing wires make this difficult. Any other ideas on how to remove the hose from the nipple on the strainer and the seacock?
Thanks,

Re: Removing the hose from the seacock to the strainer
I got a hose removal tool from my local auto parts store (actually a two piece set with blades at different angles). After I used the tools to loosen the hoses at both ends they came off with considerably less of a struggle. The first one came off in one piece but I had to cut the second one because it would not bend enough.
Thanks for the advice.

A heat gun works well too. get the rubber warm, use the hose tool to loosen it up and the slide off.
