The locking mechanism can be seen. You maybe able to pick them loose as shown here:
At about 9:50 he (not me) pulls out the hose and disconnects the valve. In your case you may want to try and screw a wood screw into the broken plastic to have something to hold/pull on. Also you may have a better view of the the teeth holding the piece in.
If that doesn't work I would try to cut the inside of the tube and try breaking it out with your needle nose pliers. You may need some specialized xacto blades or a very narrow saw blade (scroll or coping saw).
Good Luck! |
I believe he is talking about the small hose in the front that’s hose clamped onto the breather. The nipple of the breather broke off inside the little hose
