Review on ACDelco 252 700 Professional Water Pump by Micael Rau

Purchased 3/30/17 Installed 5/4/17 After installation I noticed that the upper heater hose was too close to the power steering pulley. When cold, there is enough clearance for the heater hose not to touch each other, BUT. When hot, the hose expands and rubs against the pulley. I don't have the luxury of taking a car apart to send it back and then waiting for another. I need my car for a 2.5 hour drive (one way) every time I take it to chemo. Sometimes every week or every week and a half. Is there a way to supply another water pump so I can replace and install it the same day? I also don't want to try to bend the pipe for fear of damaging the factory press in the seal on the pipe. I'll be happy to send it back. I just don't want to be stuck on the side of the road because a hose burst. Thanks in advance for the quick solution to my problem.
