That was actually only a 4 hour job! Whole front comes off in about 35 minutes!

I see that you answered it, was too slow to the draw! Lol that’s not bad at all for time!
Bingo! You nailed it. I got a pair of pliers on it and it snapped! Guess I'll get a threaded clamp on there without taking the line off and see if that stops the leak. I'd buy you and @Steve a beer any day.Those constant tension clamps have been known to crack and then leak.
Often its on the bottom and cant see the break without a mirror.
Double check it, you might just need a new hose clamp! Hopefully thats all it is.

That’s awesome! Its like rot repairs in our business, people are scared of it! You are proof that a skilled tech is worth the money! Most people don’t no where to start and fear taking part off, to make the job easier, most just don’t know! I feel like a lot of people can do the work but the don’t know where to start and the things to do to make it easierSo many people are scared of these jobs. They pay real well and i enjoy them. Dont get better by slaming brake pads all day.

It's amazing how many guys in the auto industry still keep their jobs, yet refuse to do certain things.
It's just nuts and bolts.
Sure, some are virtually impossible to get to but it has to come apart somehow.
I finally got approval for the diesel bus that needs an egr valve. I will get some pics when I tear into it.

This is the ping king kfx450 that was 13.8-1 on pump gas!!

Took two weeks to get the oem cover and new bolts!
Thats cool, most kids, and even adults can’t discern Things like that!My daughter who was seven at the time, came to me and told me "My 4 wheeler made a funny noise when I started it so i shut it off. Can you help me look at it?" Found her starter had come loose. It still cranked the engine but didnt sound right.

I replaced it, vacuumed the truck then split a half a cord of firewood. It's getting cold and nasty out.
