Very delicate situation, please help

Ok, so I rebuilt my duo valve and it works great. Now the hose from the valve that goes under the ECM bucket is leaking VERY badly. I can't get to it because of the ECM bucket. I took the cover off and removed the screws, but the wires prevent me from moving it very much and I'm nervous about unplugging anything. Is there another way to under the duo valve? Do I remove the ECM bucket and if so how?

The plastic box that surrounds the ECM's and keeps them protected...... I bit the bullet and unhooked everything and removed the bucket/box/surround/duflotchie thingies. Both heater hoses going to my heater core are toasted. I don't see how to replace them without unhooking the ECM's like I did. There is no room at all.

I hope you disconnected the battery before disconnecting all the control modules---if not make sure that you do before you reattach them all or you will have more than a ten dollar hose to worry about!!
