While I'm changing the timing belt, I'm also changing the water pump on my '97 Camry 4 cylinder. The coolant bypass hose is attached to the back of the pump behind the thermostat. How do you detach the pump from it? The book just says to remove it. I have removed the 2 nuts for the other metal hose. Everything seems to be loose but the bypass hose. I don't want to force it until I know how it is attached. thank you
