Oops... broke off a nipple. help?
Ok with a slip of a wrench I managed to hit a coolant hose that attachs to the rear housing just below the oil pressure switch and oil filter pedestal and an inch on the plastic nipple broke off in the hose and left me with about a 1/2 inch to work with. My question is can that nipple be bought by itself? Looking at the manuals it shows it to be a part of the rear housing and I can't find a part number.

The plastic quick release adaptor that snaps onto the housing is available seperately. In the mean time you can slip the hose directly onto the housing's metal nipple but will have to clamp it tightly.

when i broke my nipple (HAHA nipple), i used JB Weld. make sure it is the 24 hour set and not the 4 hour set. i did that to a coolant nipple and it has held up pretty well. in the future i am planning on tapping it. hope this helps for what options you may have :-/

I usually don't use that plastic nipple. I slip the hose directly over the metal nipple and secure it with both the original clamp and a quality worm gear hose clamp. I personally hate that thing as I have had them leak on me often. I don't understand the reasoning why Mazda put it there.
