The coolant line from the oil housing unit to the thermostat broke and I'm under the car and I can't seem to reach the bottom of the thermostat line. Please help I am replacing this Coolant Outlet Hose from ECS! Help me!

Subscribed. I'd love to know how to switch this one out. The only way I know is to removed the water pump to gain access.

I assume the plastic flange broke. If so then don't replace the whole line. No need. You will end up with another crappy plastic flange. Instead buy aftermarket flange mashined from aluminum. Cut the clamp. Reattach the hose to new flange with regular screw driven clamp. Super easy.

Man, wish I knew that existed before I spent 50 bucks on a new hose, lol. Thanks for the heads up on this Feuer!
