Can anyone tell me if there's a way to replace the heater return hose without removing the blower? Replacing the supply hose was simple, but it looks like the return hose terminates at the rear of the water pump housing under the blower. This picture shows the supply hose which connects to the back of the thermostat housing - I believe the return hose connects to the rear of the pump housing below that where the pump takes suction. Thanks.

 

The spring hose clamp cannot be accessed without removing the supercharger!!!!!!!
The air-to-water charge-air heat exchangers (intercoolers) can be left in place.

Just the throttle/induction elbow and supercharger need to be removed.
