Hey all !

Newbie here dont know where to turn to. I tried to change my ECT sensor and as I was I sheared of a coolant tube (it was rusted out) and now have to change that. It has one line that runs up the intake then over to the radiator cap. Another steel tube runs and then connects to a coolant hose that runs to the heater. One of the metal tubes that is forged on this piece sheared off. I need to change that part any suggestions on the approach ? I have 5 days off so more than enough time to work on it just need some pointers if any one knows about the changing of this piece. Attached is the problemo.
