Re: 1994 Town Car - Heater Core Hose Replacement

Hey y'all
So the heater core hose behind the water pump and under the intake manifold of my Town Car sprung a leak. The parts arrive today and the work is gonna be done tomorrow, hopefully, but I had a question about removing the hose.

It seems to be affixed to the back of the engine block somehow. I've felt aroung for bolts or nuts, but just found what felt like a peg or something. Since I've got plenty of time and before I fumble around like an idiot and waste time better spent prepping my engine surfaces for new intake gaskets, I figured it'd be easier to just ask. How do I remove that darn thing.

Thanks.
