Well that pic is from a Haynes. No tool required for removal.

 

Thats what you said earlier.haha so how do i remove it without the tool? do i use a small screwdriver or something? I also just noticed my ac hose got a couple pin holes in it from swinging it to the side so i can see little oil bubbles. what should i do to stop those from leakin the freon?

 

You have to squeeze the tabs and pull the clip up. I forget exactly how. As far as the AC hose goes, it needs replace plain and simple.

 

damn..its gettin hot here in az too and this was the only of 3 vehicles that have ac..that means new lines,evacuate,new freon..etc...that blows.no way of using some kind of rubber patch or anything?

 

ok got the fuel line off,you were right. and that was simple.just got the intake bolts for plenum,then doin timing chain kit,rear main,magnaflow cat.etc

 

Cool beans , glad I could help. As far as the AC goes, there is NO patch for the hose. Too much pressure involved. The MacGyver route won't help in this case.

 

dang that sucks..on another note..got all my intake bolts off without snapping them, they werent even very tight..way more than finger tight but easy pull with a 1 ft torque wrench and they broke loose.

 

My new pcv valve that i got from the dealer is a lil shorter(the part that goes into valve cover), will that affect anything?

 

Nope. Hopefully, will suck less oil. So long as it goes in good, and wants to STAY in....
