How hard are these to remove?
My mate says he hasn't seen any corrosion issues while attending to coolant issues. He recently replaced the twin metal pipes under the radiator (where the drain plug is) as there was a leak in the brazed joint  and saw no corrosion there.
The fuel cooler, he describes as a stainless cylinder with bakelite ends, and the coolant is leaking from where the ends clamp onto the stainless cyliner.
He's removed the hoses and all looks fine at the joints.
Does the mating service where the bakelite ends meet the stainless cylinder have sealant on it?
If not, can it benefit from some sealant? & what type?
Thanks for the advice so far. I'm relaying to him as it comes.
