Yesterday I was trying to clean the throttle body; a very good video on the YouTube really helped.
But I was unable to do the last step (pic attached) which was the removal of the throttle hose/plastic off the the throttle body. Stuck way too snug, any suggestions.
In my case (2011 Juke 1.6L) it is just a normal hose clamp (worm gear hose clamp) which I have loosened. The problem what i facing is this that i cannot take the hose off the throttle body. It can rotate side ways what unable to pull it up.
Yes i did the steps you talked above.
I followed this video and if u see at minute 3:00 he mentions to push it with a screw driver. This is where i am stuck
Also while lifting and twisting it helps to try to gently rock it from side to side. I just had to go through the same issue to replace a gasket. It will be a pain in the butt and a slow process, just make sure you don't crack the plastic in the process
