Removing the stock BOV

[djskeme]

HAd a go at this yesterday, and my god is it impossible to budge those pipes.

 

Anyone offer any advice to remoivng it without ctting the pipes....i dont wanna do it the bull in a china shop way in case the new one doesnt fit too good, or the car doest feel as good as the standard one.

 

Thanks

Have you tried using large pliers on the pipes and spinning/twisting them to break the seal?

Yeah just twist the BOV itself with the retaining clips undone. They're actually pretty easy to come off...

 

Cheers,

if you do use pliers be careful as the brittle hoses can be torn up using pliers....if you can try and twist em about a bit to losen them and pop em off

Yes good point, I've never had this problem myself, but i've heard of it.

Get new hoses from Toyota, and then you can replace it if you wis. If those hoses are hard, so will many others be, and this is the cause of sequntial and other issues. Check them, and if the others are hard renew them, with Gates or other top quality RUBBER hose, or new stock ones, NOT silicone, as the small bore stuff has no fabric liner in 90% of the stuff you can easily buy, and splits and tears.
