Trying to replace fresh water hose from fresh water fill to fresh water tank. I need a special tool to remove screws holding outside flange. There are two fasteners with very small round holes. RV is a 2001 Dodge Roadtrek 190 Popular.

Thx for all the help and advice. It did not look like I could easily get to the clamp at the water fill. Turns out the van has a few issues and I've elected to hire a mobile RV repairman. It is crazy here in the Phoenix area to get anything fixed in less than a month.

Unclamp the hose at the tank
Than pull everything including hose out,
May have to unclamp house at back of fill,
Depends on how big of hole is in the wall

You do not take that apart, unless you drill out the rivets
It was not mfg to come apart, and not install in pieces
I can explain it to you.
But I Can Not understand it for you !

Are you sure you want to drill out those pop rivets? Seems to me the hose you want to replace should be clamped to that water inlet. Look around for access to the back of that inlet and you might see a hose clamp to remove.

Those requite a #7 double reversed schwansoculator driver.

Those are however really hard to find, a 1/8" or slightly larger drill bit will substitute nicely.
Too many geezers, self appointed moderators, experts, and disappearing posts for me. Enjoy. How many times can the same thing be rehashed over and over?

Those do not look like screws (But detail is not that good) they look like POP rivets. you drill those to remove.

Those look like pop rivets to me. You would need to drill those out.

Could the holes be for a spanner wrench? Like this The two pins in the wrench fit into holes and then you can turn a collar off.

Whoops didn't see the photo, yup pop rivets and get out a drill bit slightly larger than the hole.

Can you reach the hose clamp from inside?
