I found it easier to remove the plate with the elbow and hose attached and then install the new hose off the car rather than trying to change the hose with the plate on the engine.

Make sure you clean the surface on the head thoroughly so the gasket will seal. I cemented the gasket to the plate and then applied a light coating of grease on the side that goes to the head. This way I could move the plate around a bit to get the bolt holes to line up without hurting the gasket. Also, the next time it has to come off it will come off cleanly.
