The top of the plastice upper coolant outlet housing has cracked (separated) on my 99 Intrepid (2.7L). This part is on top of the engine and has a bleed screw on it for the cooling system. After I received the replacement part, I was suprised to see that there is a long metal pipe attached to it. This pipe runs underneath the plastic engine cover from the front of the engine to the firewall and connects to a hose. What has to come out in order to replace this part? It does not look like it will be easy since the front of the part is up against the radiator and the pipe is about three feet long. Thanks in advance!
