how to remove main coolant connector from block?
I'm getting ready to ship this thing out soon for a rebuild, I was wondering if you have to remove this connector, and if so....how?

I think he's refering to the plastic piece that attachs to the hard pipe. It's pretty easy to break or damage if it's left on there. I trust Mahjiks advice , but I'd be a little leary of it being damaged if left on int shipment. Just my $0.02

Mazda calls it a quick disconnect. It probably took me longer to get that thing off then it took to get my engine out all together. Quick my ***. I just threw it away.

supposedly it's there to act as some sort of insulator between the hose and the metal pipe. Not sure if it really matters as I've read post where it's been removed and no issues or hose failures have resulted from it. I know getting it back on was a pain in the butt as you have to stuff those o-rings and nylon seperator in there then get the "quick clip" compressed back into the nipple. Once I got it figured out (and didn't break it) during the reinstall of the motor I wasn't about to throw it away. Like I said it's like the pressure plate release "once you do it. it's simple" LOL
