The problem is how do you
"work the cotter pin tool's end up under the hose between the hose and the
fitting it's stuck on. working the tool around the fitting allows the hose
to come completly free"
on the bottom hose of a Bugeye? Not as easy as you make it sound.
Installation is easy but removal can be a pain in the ass.
