Did you take both brackets off the metal tube, or break the bottom one like a lot if people do? Looks like the special tool got switched out in editing for an extension with a swivel. I'm going to do this job soon. Your video was the best I found though and I appreciate you putting it together.

SquishyBrained if I remember correctly, the one up top that I used the extension for, is bolted into the side of the manifold. I removed that one. The one that I used the vise grips for is on the back side of the manifold down low. I just loosened it so I could pivot the pipe.

@@FamilyAdventuresOverlanding great, thanks! Also, if that's your lx, it's awesome.

Just finished the job in about 3 hours. I could probably do it in 1 hour now. I didn't end up taking out that bolt that faced the firewall, with the other one out and the hose up top loose, I had enough motion on the pipe to get it done w/o breaking the lower tab. I screwed up though and put the hose on the bent pipe first which cost me an hour and some hand pain. It is much easier to put it on the block side first then wiggle the other end into place... at least on mine. I hope that is the last time I have to mess with it. Have fun out there!
