3b Water Bypass Hose removal help (1 Viewer)

[tornio]

Hi friends , Always reading yours post now i need your help :

I saw some water near the thermostat housing and i discoverd that the by pass hose is leaking ...

so i try to remove the hose and i cannot do it.... it is very hard , no space to do some lever

my question is : I heve to remove the thermostat housing in order to change the by pass hose ?

see the photo

I thought : i can cut this hose in half and simply remove the two half but then goes on the new hose ?

I had to take my thermostat housing off to do mine. It's way to short to cheat it off the fittings.

hi gerg, thanks for the reply, so i have to take off the housing ..... I'll do....

thanks bye bye

I put mine in without removing anything , it can be done . just gota bend hose a bit and put a little dish soap on it for lube

Getting the replacement hose nice and hot before installing it also helps get it into place.. into boiling water is a good way to do that.

hi , to remove it I'll try to heat up the hose and the same to reinstall , good idea! I don't know why i didn't think it

thanks

I cut mine out and fitted the new one without heating or anything.

Ain't nothing neat about a landcruiser. Maybe you meant gnarly.

I guess its pretty gnarly. He did do it without gloves. Second degree burns are just part of the job some days.

good morning , done it.

i cut the old one , i saw it was 25mm internal diameter so i went to car spare part shop and as I thought there wasn't any hose with my measures.....

damned italy market you can find only spare for new car......

so i was forced to buy a hose which need 2 cut to fit the toy

no need to heat it up .



thanks guy
cheers
