return coolant line for turbo

[Ed Kellock]

I used a small piece of 2x4, cut it to make a square, then drilled a
hole in the middle big enough to allow the coolant line to disappear
into, then I just used a hammer (or maybe a rubber mallet?) to "press"
it in.  After it was flush with the lip of the freeze plug hole, I
found a socket that was the same size as (or as close as I could find)
the inner diameter of the freeze plug hole to drive the new fitting
down to the seat.  I had expected it to be more trouble than it was.
