I feel kinda silly asking and am a little surprised I couldn't find it by searching: Is there a trick to dealing with that silly hose clamp on the back coolant line on an M1000 head? Getting a tool on it was a PIA pulling the stock head, I am not looking forward to getting the hose and clamp back on the new one.

Get a Snap-On or Craftsman #2 phillips that is about 24 inches long. You reach behind the head and pull the clamp up and into place and you can reach right in with the long screwdriver to tighten it. Just make sure the tightening nut is on the back and facing the secondary.
Ahh, gotcha. The silly thing was pointing back towards the rh footwell when I took it off, it was a beast to get to. Thanks!
