As per pic below, I unclipped the hose circled in yellow going to the reservoir, lightly pulled/twisted on the hose... And instead of the hose coming off the metal pipe, the metal pipe pulled clean out of the thermostat housing... And is now leaking. Question is, what should I use to secure this back in? And also, I couldn't get the old thermostat out. I pulled pretty hard but after the issues with the hose I didn't want to pull too much. Should it come out easily or is it a matter of brute strength?

I have no idea about the metal pipe thoughRhys Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/38339-thermostat-housing-help/#findComment-575121 Share on other sites More sharing options...
