you can see the snapped elbow in this pic. this way you can lift the lim up and off as level as you can. i just slipped the new elbow in when the lim went back on.

I just break the elbow off, when I first start. After everything is off, I take out the pieces that broke off in lim out. Then when I put the lim back in put the elbow in there with the old seal.

theres no seal. you'll see the new elbows, they just have a o ring on them.

i also took my dog bones off, the lower rad hose off, then rocked the engine back and fourth a few times to drain the coolant from the lim. not one drop fell from it into my lim valley. i didnt even do a oil change.
