2013 4th gen Cummins. Heater hose access???

[carguy79ta]

Doing the HVAC box rem and install. The interior removals are coming along no probs. The underhood work has got me thinking about putting it back together and taking it to the shop...I can't figure how to access the spring clamps on the heat core against the firewall. I pulled wheel and inner fenderwell off. Can't do it. From YT..guy says you can pull the HVAC box into the cab and disconnect them in the cab. Which sounds doable. Prob is I also can't access the quick connect fitting on the heat hose supply. The white tabs are too close to the valve cover. WTF. I do work on vehicles as a hobby like most of you. Am at my wits end. Any tools you wold recommend? I am all about buying more tools. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks. See pic of 5in pipe I put on 3days ago.

Welp I pulled the left front tire and wheel well. Was able to at least access the lower hose. Was able to move the spring clamp off of the alum tube. Ended up cutting the hose. I will do the upper one by just cutting it.I have a new Mopar inlet hosea and a silicone Gates hose for the outlet. I have Blenddoor USA and Mopar actuators and Mopar heat core evap core and seals. See how far I get tmro.
