It's a 292 straight 6 which has a small indented hole right below the tube ~ possibly house a set screw?? Also, would there be some kind of seal that needs replacement after it's removal? Pre thank you's in order and hope the holidays treated ya' right...

My mechanic told me to use some JB weld to reattach. Not sure this is correct procedure, but he did not mention any seal or fancy technique.
