**I appreciate the additional suggestions about finding how-to instructions in print or video.**

I did decide to temporarily deal with this issue with Bars Leaks, and I’ve been reporting on that here: [Bars Leaks for radiators - how well does it work & perhaps last?](https://community.cartalk.com/t/bars-leaks-for-radiators-how-well-does-it-work-perhaps-last/142244/8)

I have not had time to investigate replacement further but I hope the patch effort lasts long enough for me to get around to replacing this tube assembly.

**Thanks for reading & responding. I will jump back in after replacement with a post-mortem on the effort.**
