HELP! Need some tech advice on how to take off Water By-pass Pipe

[wynes23]

The pipe that is connected between thermostat and collant pipe. Does anyone know how to take that piece off?

I pust up some pictures. I need help for telling me, do I have to replace the whole thermostat or I can just replace this piece of pipe, and how.

Thanks a lot

Update:

I figured to take off the Water Bypass Pipe. Can anyone tell me how to install the new one back?

To leave some steps on HOW TO:

1. Take off the air intake
2. Disconnect all the pipes that are connected with Radiator
3.take off radiator and fans and electrical connectors
4. Take off the 3 studs that are connected with CAT (under the car)
5. take off the 8 nuts that are connected with Manifold; take off O2 sensor and rest of electrical
6. take off the screw behind the CAT ( it is to hold the CAT with engine)
7. take off the Manifold with Cat
8. take off the screw underneath the water bypass pipe, and get the rubber pipe off
9. take off the water bypass pipe
