Icon2 Busted Coolant Hose on IACV Please Help

Techs,

I have Honda Accord 1994 EX, one of the coolant hose on IACV is busted which goes from IACV to rear end of Motor close to Oil Filter area.

Its leaking coolant and I have to fill after every 2 or 3 days.

Can I please get any help or guideline for removing that Hose easily as it looks bit hard to remove from the IACV while at the Motor looks pretty easy.

Please see the picture for reference and advise.

I would unbolt the IACV, disconnect the electrical connector, and unhook both coolant hoses from the IACV and put it aside. Then I'd go under the car and unclamp the correct hose that is leaking with a new one off the water neck located behind the block up and above the oil filter. I don't think it's that hard but it might not give you enough room to work around that area.

Boss,

Much appreciated but concern is that there is not enough space for unbolting the IACV lower right bolt, I mean I do not see enough room there to insert something.

I know which hose is culprit and I can easily drag underneath the car to unclamp from rear end of Motor right above Oil filter.

I am a n00b what do you mean by Water neck??

You'll need to use a 10mm combination wrench to unbolt the lower IACV bolt. I know there isn't enough room for us to do but it's do-able as I've done it many times. I'mma small guy(5'3) so its easier for me since I have smaller hands. And like I said, its do-able as I've done it many times.

About the water neck, its a coolant pipe. Its located behind the engine. You'll see it once you're under the car and that the hose is clamped onto that pipe.
