Hi;
I have rotated these nipples on the 912S by heating them with a heat
gun. Use a wooden dowel fitted to the inside of the nipple to get some
leverage to rotate them. It is not a difficult task.
Have fun.

Zenith factory the newly released FWF package and a Rotax 912S. When
following the instructions on mounting the new Ring Mount to the 912S I
determined the water pump housing hose nipples for the left side of the
engine (from the back) are positioned such that: 1) the mount cannot be
reinstalled due to one of the hose nipples hitting one of the structural
ring mount brackets, and 2) the other left side hose nipple does not
provide for adequate clearance/routing of the connecting hose.
The Heavy Maint manual indicates these hose nipples are held in place
with Loctite 648 and the part needs to be heated to 180F in order to
remove the hose nipples. I am at a loss on the best way to complete
this task. Do I take a small butane torch and heat the area directly
around the hose nipple? Do I place the water pump housing in the oven
and heat to the desired temp? Do I take the housing and put it in
boiling water?
My fear about the torch is somehow warping the housing by the uneven
heating.
Anyone have a suggestion, or have they faced a similar problem? Will
also send a request to Zenith Tech Support to see what they suggest.
Thanks in advance,
