Help with aluminum charge pipe

BryanDJHP · 10-17-2015, 02:44 PM

I'm already in the process of installing my charge pipe and I can't take this last part out I've tried twisting it for about 1 hour now. Had different people help me and none seem to be able to do it. I'm just wondering how you guys did it?

From what I remember there is a clip at the back of that hose that you need to take off. It's a bad pic so it's hard to see, but I think it goes right up against the engine.

Either way charge pipes are annoying to get in and out.

Are you referring to the little or the big black hose in the center of the photo? The big one is the rear intake hose (not to be removed) and the little one is one of your diverter valve hoses.

You twist the gray clip counter clockwise and pull up.
