I took off the T-stat housing to replace it on the 240D and the water pump housing on the 300TD. Go the T-stat housing route. MUCH easier....but make sure you have the gasket in hand.

Good luck!
So, when the t-stat housing comes off, I don't quite get how to remove/install this hose. How can you get the hose in there w/o lifting or lowering one side of the set up? If the hose is between two parts, how can it be installed w/o cracking or bending the new hose?
