any tips to get radiator hose back on.

While changing a headlight bulb today I noticed that the hose wasn't fully on and I was leaking a bit of coolent. After alot of pushing I can't get it to move any tips to try and get it to budge thanks.

If no exposed electrics you can use boiled water from a kettle or a hairdryer to soften the rubber.

Stop being a pansy

Or

Lift the hose away from the union with a flat bladed screwdriver and spray some wd40 in the gap, then twist it.

Just keep wrestling with the bugger until it goes on. Try shouting and swearing at it.

Loosen the jubilee and slide it out of the way. Now get some pump pliers and gently squeeze and twist the hose right where the jubilee was. This will cause the hose to bunch in front of the plier jaws and break the bond between the hose and the radiator stub.

Just wrenching it about is likely to tear the hose or rip the stub off the rad.

That hose looks to me like it is in place perfectly, I suspect the leak is caused by something else.
