Water pump ,Hose assembly with drain for 5.7 L

[CaptRich]

Hello all, any info on how to replace the water pump hose line with part 32-861590A05, I removed the old hose and ordered the updated hose from merc, but I can't find a way to install it, it is hitting the fuel filter and can't find a way to get it on.

Pictures? I would think it would go on the same way the old one came off.

I was able to get it on but looks super tight as the old hose had a better bend , the new hose has no bend. And there’s no way to remove the plug unless you remove fuel filter first, just wondering if this seems right. Bad design

Looks similar to my installation but I have closed cooling so I don’t need to remove the plug.
