Thread: coolant elbow broken, will not come out.

If you have not done it yet. remember where each bolt goes!! if you use the wrong bolt, it will go too far in and you will be screwed.

I should have taken pictures, but it was freezing at the time, and wanted to get it done.

Thanks for the quick reply. I did like you said. I kept the bolts straight. Left them in where I could. I marked the others. Cleaning out that "little plastic ring" that got stuck inside the bracket (at the upper elbow) was "fun". I tried not to disturb the "heater couplers". It worked just like you said. So far, no leaks. Thanks.
