Which engine, the 2.0L DOHC 4-cyl. or the 2.5L V6? The one on the 4-cyl. is not easy to access where it attaches to the water pump. You need a special rad hose squeeze type clamp tool to remove the clamp, which I would replace with a conventional worm type clamp when replacing the hose. Hope this helps.

Open the clamps with big pliers and work the hose off.
use some of the red lube that comes in the big *** tub... and put it on the end of a flat tip screwdriver, make sure you use a lot of lube. Then shove it between the hose and the connection of the radiator end of the hose and pry up.
