I am getting myself Dex-Cool free later today and I thought that I might replace the coolant elbows since I hear that they are problematic. Where are they located (is it obvious)?
I am sitting at work right now and can't check until later today...

Are they easy to replace?

Hafta take a lot of stuff off to get to the pump & take these off but its not too difficult. Great idea to replace them though.

You don't have to take the water pump off to replace the coolant elbows........ all you remove is the alternator and the heater bypass ( the thing the 2 heater hoses connect to). IIRC its held on with 4 bolts and pulls off, one elbow is on the bottom side, the other goes from the bypass to the LIM. Pretty straight forward and easy to do not to mention good maintaince.
Just remember, when you pull off the bypass you'll most likely break off the ends of the old elbows. Be sure to dig out the plastic piece and oring before installing the new elbows, and use some sort of grease on the new elbows....
