    I left mine in place and put 3/4” line over the top of it. It’s TIGHT but worked for me.

    I honestly didn’t fight it too long before just deciding to go that route.

    I left the oring on as well in addition to hose clamp that comes with kit.

    I did the same thing - glad I’m not alone on that. Hasn’t leaked in 12,000 miles

    I figured the new fitting would have a better chance of leaking at the block than stretching the hose to go over.

    I knew the resisting fitting didn’t leak.

    I think I used a large crescent wrench.

    I had to flip it after each turn to get a different angle.

    Take the crankcase filter cover off remove the oil cap take out all the 8MM bolts that are holding the cover down and unplug sensor and take vent hose off of sensor now the cover will come off and you can remove the coolant fitting with a deep 15/16 socket.

    If I remember right it has to be a silver thin socket a impact socket won't fit because of the valve cover!

    I just did my EGR cooler delete last week and had to take that fitting off!
