The other end of the hose that is connected to the bottom of the degas bottle, that connects near/to the water pump burst, the other day. I am trying to figure out the easiest way to change it and what the part number is? Thanks

looks like pulling degas bottle off will make it easier, good luck. See picture.

yes I know I didn't say it was going to be easy, maybe you can reach it with a 1/4 drive with a long extension to unscrew it.

Ok so you wouldn't suggest taking anything off the Engine to make access easier? As it is now I can't even see where it connects to the water pump
