Pcv hose removal from top

[Walt]

Anyone have some tips on rempoving the PCV hose for catch can install from the top? I don't have a lift or jack and jackstands. I got one side loose easily but I can't get the other one off, I can squeeze my hand through and feel the clips but no matter how hard I push it won't come out.

I don't want to remove the intake manifold either

I pulled the intake manifold. It's not a big deal.

Thanks for the suggestions guys, but I managed to get it off from the top without removing the intake manifold. I designed and 3d printed a little pinch tool and pushed it against the two white clips. Got it off in 2 minutes after that vs an hour fiddling around with my hands lol.

You probably need to sell that shit! I'd have probably bought to avoid pulling the intake.

Yeah I could but it's just a very basic design I made in less than 5 minutes. It's still difficult even with the tool, so I don't want to scam people thinking the removal would be a breeze with this tool lol. I can just provide the files for the tool if anyone asks.

I'd recommend lifting the car for the install, that's really the easiest way to do the install. If you don't own a lift/jack your next best option is to remove the intake manifold.
If you don't want to do that either like I did, you could try and get it loose from the top. But be ready to swear a lot lol. You can only reach the bottom pins this way so just push those up with something as hard as you can. Ideally you want to press both of them at the same time because if you press one up the other side goes back down.

I'll post some links of video's I watched before doing the install.

The install from the top like I did (without the screwdriver):

If your not going to sell it, put it on thingyverse for others.
