I tried removing my Forge DV just to see how easy it would be, to put the OEM DV on just in case

Default I tried removing my Forge DV just to see how easy it would be, to put the OEM DV on just in case

Rector Audi gives me grief for having an after market part on my next scheduled service. I cannot remove the "side" hose from that damn thing without potentially ripping the entire hose off. Any ideas as how to make removing it easier? Seems like the hose shrunk to fit snuggly.

Thanks,
Joe

and just twist and pull as it comes out.

Get a *small* slotted screwdriver under the edge of the hose, and work it around a bit.

Default For a second there I thought you were gonna say "Astro Glide" or "KY Jelly", but "Belt Sander" was

just as helpless. ;-) but funny.
