I wish I had not made this post.
It would have been soooo much easier to have just read it on Pelican's parts site before I bought the EBay item.
Those who have not R&R'd a coolant tank have no idea how tedious,time consuming and knuckle busting this seemingly simple task can be.
Please consider using the Mayhew cats paw ,remote pliers on the spring hose clamps .
And before you start, -check if you can actually reach any worm-drive clamps that a P.O. may have installed with the gearbox out. You may have to cut off the hose nipples up against the trunk bulkhead !
When a simple replacement project requires the use of a saw -you know you are in trouble!
That is why I am offering the defective new tank to Pelican to use in their Show & Tell.
