'52 B Lower Radiator Pipe Removal

I have a 52 B that has sprung a coolant leak in the metal, lower radiator pipe and I'm not clear how to remove it. I have loosened the clamps on either end and removed the metal tool tray that sits above the pipe but that pipe doesn't want to budge. Do I need to remove anything else or just put more elbow grease in the mix? Any advice would be helpful. Hoping to repair the pipe vs. replace it.

Thanks,

Remove the two bolts where the lower pipe connects to the bottom of the head, and it will drop straight down. You can make your own gasket for that flange when reassembling.
 

A 52 B with a Steel lower radiator Pipe? Does this tractor have a Water pump or water pump Kit?
I think ever 1952 B I ever saw had a Cast Iron lower pipe.
 
So I made a typo. I have a 1943 B not the 1952. Those bolts are on studs and the frame would not allow the pipe to be lowered on this year. Tell me they don't expect you to remove the radiator to remove this pipe?
 
I haven't looked at mine for a while, but isn't there a short piece of hose on one or both ends of that pipe? If you get those out of there the pipe should come off. Cut them out if you have to and replace them with new ones when you replace the pipe.
