Removal of Water Inlet Tube
Hey guys, I searched the forums but was unable to find an answer on how to replace my water inlet tube on my '97 neon sport sohc. I just recently had my water pump freeze up which took out my timing belt and a couple of valves which I have replaced and after I got everything back together I noticed a crack in my water inlet tube where the heater core hose connects to.
My problem is I cannot figure out how to get the water inlet tube off the car. I have removed the hoses and 3 bolts holding it to the engine but it wont budge. The only thing I can see that might be causing me problems is the intake manafold and I really do not want to remove that unless I have no other choice.
Any tips or tricks will be greatly apprecated.
Thanks in advance.
