Default Re: Breather hose replacement

The port hose can be replaced from above, just barely. You can reach the lower hose clamp with a screwdriver and pop it loose. I couldn't get a new hose clamp on it, though, and had to use a zip tie.

I am pretty sure that replacing the starboard hose requires removing the intake manifold, which I plan to do in a few days. From Bentley's, it doesn't look too hard. I think you just have to pull off the fuel rails and then there are six bolts on top of the manifold. There are two gaskets that run about 18-20 each online.

I've tried and tried to reach the lower starboard hose clamp without removing the intake manifold, but no can do.

Default Yikes! That's not good news.

I've got that pair of hoses sitting on my garage tool tray. Bought them after seeing the condition of the front hose, and replacing it with a heater hose.
