Crossover pipe removal

[WrenchinBrit]

Hey All
Have a leak that i can visibly see squirting from the thermostat housing,
Q. Can i remove the crossover pipe without removing the inlet man?
Its loose and i can jiggle it around but it looks unlikely that its going to come off

Thanks

Ok anyone else tackling this the answer is NO the manifold has to come off to allow the crossover pipe to be removed
