Suction hose need some help.

[red998]

Thank you for the DIY for the plenum that was crucial and so helpful.

I am currently stuck trying to get the suction hose off the part that sits at the far end of the throttle bodies. (listed as part number 10 in this thread: http://www.m3post.com/forums/showthread.php?t=710880). I don't want to break any plastic parts just looking for something I might be missing out as I am a total novice.

Thanks

Depress on the sides of the clip and gently wiggle/pull. Could be stuck. Try spraying some silicone lube and maybe it will work its way in.

Problem is I can't get my hand in that tight space. I tried to unbolt the brace and the 2 TORX 30 bolts but the part doesn't budge. I was hoping to get some more wiggle room.

Would WD40 work?

Spot on. I hit it with WD and it slid off easy peazy.
Thanks a bunch!

There's also that 10mm(?) bolt on the side of the bracket that needs to be removed before that bracket will lose up allowing the pump to be freed up.

If this doesn't work lube it.
