Just did it on mine. I cut a block of wood to prop against the drain valve on the hose . With a crowbar I then used an engine mount as a pivot point and applied leverage against the block and hence against the hose. Additionally I had my dad hold the radiator from the other side. You have to take the grill out in order to do this. It's important to keep the radiator from moving while you do this otherwise you will lose your leverage. It went on. And it didn't come off. So give it a shot.
