Yep. That's the 'easiest' way to do it.

Although I guess if you put the hose into a cup of boiling water for a minute it might soften enough to give you the flexibility it needs to bend into that gap.

I didn't try that when I did mine a while back.

Have a scan through the thread titles in the D2 section - there have been some recent threads on this topic.

A gasket scraper?

Liquid nitrogen?
