Removing Heater pipe - 3.0 waterpump

[Josh]

The pipe that is causing me issues is item number 19. It wont seem to budge. What am I doing wrong? I assume it just pulls off?

There is a friction lock spring that needs released by rotating the collar counter clockwise (in most cases) then the tube will rotate out. Every last one is a pain.

I will soak it in wd 40 and give it a try then. Thank you.


counter clockwise facing the back of the waterpump? Or the front?

I had better success breaking rust and stuck components with PB Blaster!

And if PB Blaster fails, use a 50/50 mix of acetone and automatic transmission fluid.
