Coolant Hose Question - ZR-1 Net Registry Forums

BlackZR1 · 10-18-2015

I'm in the process of replacing coolant with Zerex GM spec 1825-M and large hoses with Jerry's silicone hoses. I'm not one to give up but the hose that runs between the water pump and thermostat housing looks like a bear. I can barely see the connection to the water pump.
The other hoses were stuck to the fittings and required prying 360 around to get them off.
Is there a trick to getting this hose off of the water pump connection without removing the water pump? I can't even get my hands in there no less tools. Maybe get the belt tensioner out of the way?

Thanks,
Roger
