Maybe you can rotate it around the top fitting so it has a bit more clearance?
The hose on mine is pretty fragile, there are witness marks where the pulley has eaten slightly into the side. I must admit I only noticed this when working on another item underside and wondering what the zip tie was doing there. I would prefer to leave it alone until a replacement can be sourced. Assume then will have to follow your video on venting the cooling system afterwards?
