Yes, it is a b*tch. I usually use a 1/4 drive socket (5mm or 6mm) to make loosening and tighting the clamps easier. Also, use a razor blade to slice lengthwise on the hose to assist in breaking it loose. I use coolant to lubricate the hose to assist on re-install (I used to use teflon based grease, but I am out).
No, there arenīt. I was referring to the one going from the back of the engine into a electric pump, located in the engine bay, under the water valves. Out from these valves goes to new hoses which connect to the torpedo-wall and enter the coupe. The electric pump will reveal itself when you try to remove the water valves which are screwed on to a small frame next to the fusebox.
I spent two hours removing the last clamp on the engine for the hose going into the electric pump. I was wondering if there was an easy way to do it. Getting the new one on will be the next nightmare!
I was considering replacing all the other hoses (3 of them) going into the torpedo-wall/coupe too. But these seem _even_ harder to get at... Any smart trick for undoing them from the torpedo-wall?

I am not sure I understand your question, but there should NOT be any rubber hoses that enter the interior of the car.
Having a nice weekend working on my 750...
It seems almost impossible to get to the clamps on the hoses going from the engine block to the electric pump/water valves for interior heat + the 3 hoses going in/out of the coupe. Is there any special tricks to get these? I have to replace the first mentioned one, but was wondering if I should go for all while at it. Can I access these from the inside of the coupe easier perhaps? I have the valves and electric pump out now.
Have to check where my Bentley manual has gone...
