Samco Coolant Hose Kits

No water pump does not need to be removed. You will need the O Ring for the chrome pipe that goes into the engine.

Sorry, I'm not looking at the bike right now - To pull the pipe, do I have to remove or move the radiator?

Yes you have to remove the radiator to do the job.

Thanks Bill!

Some tight spots and maybe a cut finger or two. But a doable job. Remember to bleed the block when refilling with the new coolant.

can be done without removing Radiator just harder but can be done as I did it even with my big fat fingers

I did remove the water pump, made life SO much easier. Didn't remove the chrome passage from the top part, I found the pump was easier to get on/off.

I reckon there is no "right" way to do it.

But I'm slack and have booked mine into the shop for a radiator and front ABS brake flush and fluid change this month, so will get them to do it then before the trip to Hahndorf for the April RAT rally - 2017 Australian Triumph RAT Rally Hahndorf SA 7-9th April

@HansO - have we twisted your arm enough yet? I'm open to suggestions re route and departure time as I can meet me mate Lance there and go to his place at Pt Germaine after. I've still got your double bed and luxury cottage spot on hold until the end of the month - you can even luxuriate for one night only if you wish as according to @Wrecka instead of sharing the bunk room for two nights, my mate will probably want to kill me or sleep in the lake itself with weeds in his ears after one night,.

But Lance is obviously of sterner stuff despite his then youthful 5'6" 140lb frame. Besides sharing various houses and units for 10 years or so, 30 years ago when we shared a room in an old Launceston pub, I sleep-walked after way too much grog and he woke with me kneeling on his guts rocking sound asleep on the open 3rd floor window ledge along-side his bed! Admittedly I was a tad lighter then too, just a wee 265lb slip of a lad.

Ill give you a call monday and discuss SA trip not sure at moment Ann's step mum has not been well so sent Ann up by plane and may have to do it again so funds are tight
