How do you change the coolant hose on a mercedes 190e 2.6 1988?

I have taken off the air filter under which there is a short elbow coolant hose going from the cylinder head to under the oil filter (oil coolant?) which has perished, I can get to the block end but not the other. Do I have to get the engine taken apart just to replace a pipe? Please helpHow do you change the coolant hose on a mercedes 190e 2.6 1988?On a lot of engines, and most Mercedes, there is what is normally called an %26quot;oil filter adapter%26quot; on other cars. (I don't know what Mercedes calls it.)

If you remove your oil filter, you should be able to see where this part bolts to the block. I think if you remove it, you should be able to get to the end of this hose.
