Default replacing middle radiator hose

Hello there jaguar friends ,im new on this site and also not a mechanic at all what i want is to start working in my 04 jaguar s type because i feel that every time my mechanic does something to the car he cuts corners and they charge to much for everything ,anyway is not rocket science so i figure i can start learning by replacing the middle radiator hose wich is licking ..
this hose goes from the upper hose where the thermostat is, to the throttle sensor and down to where other two hoses are conected , so i get under the car i figure i start from there to let the coolant drain right? Well for the love of me i can get the clamp out the work space is just no there is there a special tool for this stuff i can buy to make the job easy .

If you guys can help me with this please ! You guys rock by the way !!

Are you referring to a hose clamp? If so I found this tool to be very handy for getting into tight spaces.
