    That goes into you're water pump!
    If it's not a Symptom its not relevant, and if its not relevant I don't care!

    Never had a problem. Done quite a few aswell. Must be your technique. Dont be so rough.

    heheh, ive broken one too, the trick is to gently lever it evenly out.

    Was a mongrel to get the broken bit out of the hole too.

    Keep the coolant with lubricant fresh in your engine and parts like this wont corrode and sieze

    Ever since i have had this car (April 2010) it has had coolant in it but the person i brought it from didn't look after the car to well that's why i'm pulling most of the thing's apart to fix or clean like right now im doing the manifold gasket and im going to clean all the top of the motor and part's maybe spray paint it all silver again to make it look a bit more new

    If they are tight its just a matter of carefully leavering on each side. It will snap when the 'male' part sits slightly off line and catches on the tube.

    Ive snapped one before due to being a bit impatient lol
