How to remove the coolant T-pipe on a KTM dirt bike

[@davidinLA424]

Thanks Mike! Getting my 300 SX frame for powder coating and THIS was the only thing I didn't know how to do! Thanks bud!

Pro Tip: if you don’t want to pay for the special tool, take an old 10mm deep well socket and cut the matching grooves into the outside of it with a dremel.

Mike,
How are you planning on preserving the VIN number on the frame when you send it off for powder coating? The VIN on these KTM's is stamped into the powder

[@smrider4568]

What glue need to use when put it back together?

[@mecalpsha4473]

Replace that with the 1 piece T hose from SAMCO Sport it is made from silicon and will not have any issues.

I have removed these while the entire bike is together and even with the proper tools it is a real PIA

[@clintonmccown8856]

Were can you get the tool

[@J.bagnell283]

Can you do this with the motor in?

[@TACOMOTOCO]

Yes

[@arkuma1]

Can be removed with 14mm hex key and a cromevanadium screwdriver

Nice tools!!! 😊

[@troyhicks49]

Actually you can heat that piece, heat gun not torch. The OEM Hoses take the heat .
