Ok,
the pipe on my new engine is rusted and one of the connectors broke off. So i started to remove the hole thing, which ended up tearing engine apart. it needed anyway. it had blown haed gasket. I will show the pictures later.
So anyway, how do you remove the metal coolant pipe that coming from water pump?
i checked the majestic and it shows that it has O-ring which i figured would be pushed in, but i can't pull it out.
thanks guys
if you help me i will OWN YOU ALL A BIG ONE.

I had the same problem when I replaced my water pump. I went back to the dealer for a new pipe to use with the new pump.

You could use some P.B. Blaster cataylist and let it soak to loosen it.. If its in that condition you might want to consider just replacing the pipe and the pump.

the easiest way to do it is using a crowbar and just levering it and yankin on it. I would say, removing ur intake manifold would be much easier to access ur coolant pipe and also time to clean it good. :D
