Default Civic eg O-ring water pipe installation

I’ve got a leak from the water pipe that connects the thermostat housing to the water pump. Specifically behind the water pump, that’s how I know it’s from the pipe.

I’ve bought the necessary o-ring that is need. Does anyone know how to install the o-ring? From what I have gathered, I need to pull out the old pipe and put in the new o-ring. Or do I add some sort of sealant to the ring?
Edit: this is on a d15b7

Thanks.

not an expert on this engine but normally there's a bolt that holds the pipe to the block, obviously you need the thermostat housing off, you don't use any sealant whatsoever

Expect to find corrosion when you get it apart. That will need to be cleaned up or replaced before the new ring can seal.

Thanks for the help.

I assume if corrosion is not that bad, I will need to clean it up with a wire brush right?
