I have replaced the rest of the hoses. its the 2.6 litre. I have removed two of the top bolts holding the water pump on and its moving a bit! but the third one is so far down and the intake manifold is in the way of using a normal ratchet or even get my hands in there to use a normal wrench. I guess this is why they say you have to remove the powersteering pump and belt tensioner. Boooo! Theres no way I'm cutting anything off the head, that would be the easy way out
although I did think of it. I did cut a smaller piece of another hose which was much smaller and would have worked but still no success.
