Default Water Pump Pressed in Outlet Fitting

So I was trying to tweak the angle on the waterpump outlet pipe and it popped out the press fit between the steal pipe and water pump. It looks like it was epoxied in from the factory. It is a press fit but not a very tight fit.

Has any one had any luck resecuring the outlet pipe after it was removed? I was thinking use some JB weld and knock it back in.

Just so happens those holes are the perfect size for an NPT tap. Tap it, use a NPT/barb fitting. You can probably find one that's the correct angle.
I had to mod mine to fet over the suspension.
