Just swwapped out the lower heater core hose. Did it on jackstands. Access from the bottom to release the clip was a no go, because iX hardware was in the way. Looking from below gave me a pretty good idea of what I was up against so i used an articulating mirror and tiny screwdriver and popped it from the top.
Having done a cowl delete (using Berger? cabin filters) meant I had more room to get my hands in there. I had to pull the airbox and tubing, and temporarily relocate the brake reservoir. I also pulled the brake reservoir bracket to get a little more wiggle room.
Once I popped the clip, the hose (as OP mentioned) came off pretty easily. I'm hoping that it was indeed the lower hose that was leaking. Guess I'll find out soon.
Thanks again for taking the time to put together the DIY, OP. It made the swap easier for me.
