need some suggestions
I have a 98 voyager and about a week ago the water pump housing had a heater house nipple that broke off due to corrosion. I have decided not to replace the house as you have to remove the front half of the engine and get into the timming belt. I have found a new nipple to replace it, but still have half of it in the housing. What would be a good way to get the other half of it out without removing the housing? I need to have this van running soon cause I have for kids and three of them are still in carseats and we won't all fit in the honda civic that we have.

Re: need some suggestions
try a large easy out. or if the old nipple is pop metal you can lightly hacksaw it (don't hurt the threads and then collapse it. mike

Re: need some suggestions
Just to let any one know, I think I fixed it. I couldn't get the other peice of the nipple out so I got some JB weld and Fixed a new peice to the old one inside the water pump housing. It seems to be holding, but I won't find out until tomorrow because it needs to cure overnight. I hope this takes care of it. As always, thanks for the advice. This has become one of my favorite websites.
