On this N54, the hose clamp is aligned in such a way that there's zero clearance to get to the screw. I have the wheel liners out, fan removed, and intercooler removed so there's lots of access space but the subframe is in the way. The water pump has been replaced already (at least once) along with that U hose that goes from the water pump to the thermostat. Actually this hose from the thermostat to the cylinder head may have even been replaced once before.

Sucks that it's so much harder/impossible to get at on the N54 :-/
One of those things where you just hope for the best!
