    Tube goes down to w/p. Tube is bypass when thermostat is not open. O-ring on both sides. Hold pipe with pliers and pry up with pry bar on t stat housing. Penetrating spray and twisting helps.

    Remove the clamp from the end away from the thermostat housing. I believe the end with the clamp on it goes to the oil cooler. I have a C15 and that is the way it is set up.

    No clamps on a c13. Just keep prying and spraying wd40 or similiar, they are a pain to get apart but go together alot easier.

    What they said. Been there. Done that. Thought I was going to break something. But didn't.
