I am thinking about replacing this part
Sorry for the bad picture it coolant pipe t3 right hand head https://www.brickwerks.co.uk/coolant-pi ... steel.html
I was just wondering if anyone has any tips regarding undoing the nuts and the likelyhood of any studs breaking?
Also I assume that it is best to drain the coolant out first otherwise it will be all over the floor?

Re: Replacing coolant pipe
I recently changed small pipe attached and it was a real pain. Some remove pulley for better access. I used a miniature 1/4" drive socket to release the nuts. Or cut down an old spanner. Drain down is required unless you have an alternative idea. Plus Gas it for a few days. Yet I doubt it will give problems as spigot is plastic. But why change? Is it leaking?

Re: Replacing coolant pipe
It just looked like a tiny crack was appearing where one of the bolts is. I think I will get the parts and replace it when I next change the coolant.
Thanks

Re: Replacing coolant pipe
Do you use any sealant on the gasket when you replaced it?
