heater hose replacement

[POPPALUV]

Hey guys,
I have been getting the G wagon in driving shape after its 5 year rest. I have the heater hose that goes into the water pump that rubbed on the removed charcoal canister bracket.
there is enough room for a splice, but i'd like to really replace it. It seems buried under the alt and i can barely see the hose clamp.


Is the procedure to remove the alt and bracket to get to it?

I had to remove the AC compressor to get to mine.

Lordy, this is gonna be hell on my back!
I am so glad i bought a mikita 18v ratchet!
It saved my ass JUST trying to secure the top hose clamp going to the fuel pump!
