2004 F250 - R&R-ing lower radiator hose?

I'm stumped on this one.

My lower radiator hose has rubbed against the steering gearbox (like they're known to do, it seems) and developed a leak.

I can't reach the upper end of the hose to remove it. I can't get my hand in there, and it looks like it's a spring clamp holding the end on.

So...I need to remove stuff to get at this thing? I'm having a hard time believing that, but damned if I can see any other way.

So: how the ^$*@ do I remove and replace the lower raditaor hose on a 2004 F250 6.0? Anyone do this simply?

Thanks in advance.
