Can I cut the tube to free the wp and then use a piece of hose to reconnect the 2 cut pieces? If the y portion that is stuck in the wp doesn't come out without damage is there an adapter I can buy to replace that portion and then run tubing to the remaining tube that was cut and is still hooked up to the heater core?

Could you snap a photo where it goes into the water pump, we could tell a little better if you should cut this up or not.
Taking the upper intake off isnt a big deal, just a few bolts then you just need to buy a gasket for it and re torque the bolts to spec when your done.

Well I have a spare if you damage yours, what part of Missouri are you in? I am in Springfield.
Try turning it from side to side to break the scale up around the rubber O ring, it cakes up kinda bad. Use some gripped gloves to try this with, Harbor Freight has them for cheap.
Also make sure to go to AutoZone and get a new rubber O ring for it otherwise you will probably have a leak once you put it back together. Just bring the tube in when you get it out because I dont remember what the size is.
You could also get a rubber mallet and try tapping it around the base to help crack the scale buildup.
Maybe try letting WD-40 soak around the top too or another penetrating oil.

I dont have mine anymore because I sold it with a lot of other stuff before we moved back here to Cali.
Check these guys out, they sell everything for 10% above cost and you pay shipping.
It works out better if you buy more than 1 thing because they will combine shipping for you.
