HELP! 72 280SEL 4.5 Cooling system
 

I am putting new heater hoses on my car between the engine and the firewall (heater), The metal tube that runs under the intake manifold (part# 1172000354) which connects the water pump (front of the engine) to the heater hose (back of the engine) has failed due to age and corrosion. Has anyone replaced this? Can I snake this through by removing the radiator? Does the intake manifold need to be removed? Any suggestions?

Thank You,

You will need to remove the intake manifold.

Thank You
 

Thanks Doc,

I was afraid of that.
