Is it hard to install the repair kit myself without professional help?

Can this kit completely fix leaking plastic coolant pipe ends?

Is this repair a long-term solution or should I consider other options?

This kit provides a solid repair and can last a long time, but for a more permanent fix, GoWesty also offers stainless steel pipe sets which replace the entire plastic pipe.

What’s included in the kit, and does it fit both 2WD and 4WD vans?
