How to remove water outlet pipe form water pump to oil cooler

[KEVINL]

I am replacing my water pump and I wanted to replace the o ring at the oil cooler because I thought it was leaking as well except when I go to pull it out it just gets to a certain point then stops is there a certain trick to getting this out

Pull really hard or use a prybar against the flange on the end of the pipe.

man this thing wont come off it feels really loose but it just gets to a certain point and stops I am not sure what to do besides remove the oil cooler. With my luck if I remove it I wont be able to get it out off the truck

I freaking hate this I just want this thing fixed its already been down a month plus

What Travis said as that's the only way it will come out. I'm assuming you've tries turning while prying.

Your not pulling hard enough. Try twisting while your pulling. I promise you arenot going to break anything except maybe your knuckles when it comes loose

Squirt some pb blaster in there or something its a bitch but it just has to get past the corroded aluminum in front of the o ring

To remove the water pipe, you need to pull the motor mount.

I can get the part number off the one I ordered when it gets here monday.

Well I got it out n got the o ring but can't how the hell am.I suppose to get it.back in.. git no room to hit it n nothing to pry against .. I really don't wanna take the oil cooler off

Well, mine came out reluctantly, and now there's a deep gouge in the pipe from forcing past the motor mount. I'm going to file down the mount where it interferes before reassembling, and installing a new pipe. Should have pulled the mount, or the oil cooler...2006 LBZ

I pulled the motor mount. Put a jack under the oil pan and lightly lift on the engine. I tried everything they said here but mine was so tight I actually bent the flange on the pipe rendering it useless.

Did you lube the o-ring? Did you clean any buildup out of the oil cooler inlet to make sure it is smooth and uniform?

I have never fought one that didn't go with a few light taps with a bead mallet.
