Coolant system

More catching up on photos and posts! This is from late May. :/

This time I tackle getting some of the coolant system out, on the passenger side of the engine.

Photo of the top section of hoses/etc. to be removed...
...and a shot farther down.

The top section looks kind of tricky, but it's just a matter of loosening up all the clamps, and giving that central piece a good steady twist, and everything pops loose.
After the hoses/etc. above are out of the way. Next is that one pipe, removing the clamps and loosening up the old rubber hoses (which requires giving them a good lengthwise slice);


And out it comes! The pipe itself needs some cleaning up - there's a bit of rust but it appears to be just on the surface. I suspect this piece will be reusable.
