May want to give a better description because I can't figure out what you're talking about...

Re: coolant bleeder pipe

thats a major hose to replace. I recommend getting the Goodyear Hi-Miler blue hose kit from summit. I think the part number is: GTR-5006

That one hose from the dealer is like $170, so I'd be cheaper to just buy all of the hoses. It sucks but the goodyear are suppose to be "10 times stronger than the stock hoses" and "lasts 5 to 10 times longer than regular hoses."

Re: coolant bleeder pipe

The hoses are dealer only, when mine sprung a leak right near the bleeder i used a saw blade and cut the press fitting off and used a regular hose clamp, works fine.

It's dealer only for the pre pressed fitting pipe, but you can get all of the rubber hoses in the hi-miler kit and use hose clamps. I think it would be a bad idea to install just one replacement hose.

I have the goodyear blue but not installed yet. Will do when I rebuild. I do have to say that my 95 with 160k+ has yet to have a hose leak. Just lucky I guess

Re: coolant bleeder pipe

when I replaced all of my hoses, I just used regular generic heater hose tubing and cut the ends off the bleeder valve and reused it. cost me nearly nothing and works perfectly.
