When I did my core this spring, the hoses had completely fused to the tubes and I had to cut the tubes from behind the dash. Not fun. Then I removed the old pieces. But I hate trying to work back at the firewall. Such a pain.
Yeah, it sticks out about 3 inches, maybe a 1/2-3/4 inch more than the other one.

Then it’s just a matter of cleaning what’s left off the tube ready for the new hose.
Yeah I usually do as well, but when you're in a hurry, bad choices can be made.

Here's an update. Water pump is working like a champ. Heater core took a hike this morning and is leaking onto my floor. I dodged a bullet for a couple weeks, but now I get to replace it. Should be fun tearing the dash out.
