Thanks for posting if I took off all the parts it took to change the by pass hose I'd fix the leak but have to get it towed to a shop to get it back together alot easier to cut the pipe and run the rubber hose
Just watched to know where to look for pipes location. I can confirm my 2012 Tacoma 2tre-fe came with the metal pipe already. Thankfully will not need to change.
Just wanna add my thanks for this video. Did this repair today and everything went perfectly. Actually, I'm a small guy with skinny arms, so I may have even had an easier time than you did getting into some of those tight spaces. Anyway, thank you so much.
My Tacoma is a 2013 2.7 L & I'm lucky as Toyota installed a metal pipe in mine, so if it's 2013 or newer this shouldn't happen if coolant changes are done soon enough. I like the rerouting of the hose vs pulling the intake assembly off and I'd advise using the silicon hose also.
i did this and it lasted 70K miles before i have a slight drip on one connection. well worth it you snowflakes think your gonna drive your truck forever but you won't.....save the money and do it this way
Just replaced my bypass line today using this video as a guide. Very tight in the area but I was able to get the old one out. Did break it more in process but didn't care. And got the new modified one in fishing behind the manifold. Did not have to remove anything else such as dip stick, or starter, etc. Only took tire off. Hardest part was really getting old one out and breaking nuts loose. Getting new in was quick.
I would have liked to have seen how he got the old plastic pipe out of there in one piece. I would have also liked to have seen him "snake" the combination metal/rubber pipe up in there behind the intake manifold.
With 230000 miles I'm tempted to do it your way. Bought a cheap Chinese part ($22 Canadian dollars). This is a major design flaw that those with 200K+ are being challenged.
For people considering this method, I just finished doing it and it SUCKS. Be prepared to cuss A LOT, cut your hands, get coolant in your fresh cuts. In hindsight, I wish I would have just done it the normal way. The job might take longer but I guarantee it's less stressful.
I'm doing the same thing. Toyota wanted 90 bucks for a new plastic bypass pipe. Ebay wanted 20 bucks for a metal one. thanks for the video. I cut mine with a cutoff saw and then used a buffer wheel and grinded the edges.
just got a replacement bypass pipe from Toyota as it was made out of stainless steel! the old bypass was made out of plastic, and it cracked...my motor is a 2.7 liter 2005
Did this , solid. Use a pipe cutter for a clean cut, so there's no sharp edges, had one already but the small one I used is only 5 bucks at home depot 👍
Is it possible to cut out the pipe middle as you have done, but instead reroute that portion away from the engine and away from the underside of the manifold? Is there clearance and will the design allow one to bolt the connection at the thermostat housing so that the tube faces AWAY from the engine? Then reconnect via various elbows and flexible heater hose?
Thinking that getting heater hose away from the engine heat is good and using malleable copper tubing or copper fittings to make any connection adapters?
I did this a while ago. I tried explaining it in the video I think. The portion that connects by the thermostat can be flipped to run outside the manifold. It might have to be tucked in between one of the runners as you get close to the other end, or you have to keep the hose long to stay in front of the manifold on firewall side, because you can't flip the pipe on that side ( because the smaller hose connection will face down). Just do it the way i showed and there won't be any problems. I've driven an hour back and forth to work every day in 90 degree heat this summer and it's still exactly the same. The outside of the engine doesn't get hotter than the coolant, so you don't have to worry.
Thanks for the insight. Hoping to disconnect as little as possible with limited skills. What concerns me is the access to the front attachment nuts, removing the starter and dipstick tube and also any electrical connections in the way, as they are often different and brittle. Snaking the assembly hopefully will not be an issue. After watching your video a few more times, its clear. Probably will buy a gear wrench as you mentioned. Also read suspend the front nuts during reassembly with dental floss. Thank you again for your video!
Thanks for sharing, used this method to replace my pipe and it worked great, didn't have to remove starter, thanks for the help

Mine Just started Leaking today. Thank for the video!!
Replaced yesterday. Was a PIA to fish the pipe thru but this was awesome. Thanks again!!

Why didn't You show in the video how easier it was to do the work?

I have the same thing. 230,000 miles away I'm gonna do mine this way. I need my commuter fixed

as plastic cooks, it doesn't matter what color you start with it will always end up clear

Sorry. I’d rather spend the extra time and have the solid metal pipe.
Did you drain all the coolant before replacing the coolant tube
What prevents the re-routing of the hose?
how do you get old by pass out will the plastic brake off inside ?? thank you for a great tip
Had to remove intake manifold. My mechanic charged $590 labor.
Thanks! Worked excellently. Finished it without the need to take the starter off. Still was a B#@!h but def better than taking off half the maifold.

all the clamps on my hoses are original for 276000 miles
Part number for the pipe please
🤡
How did it end up working out? Over time?
No thanks, I'll just take my time and do it the other way.
🤡🤡🤡🤡
Why did u even click on it then
pussy.. still sad the black indian lost???
30 minutes to completely remove the intake...why so much extra work?
skill issue for some
