 Breather removal I broke the breather tube when pulling the valve cover. You would think this would be an easy fix but it has me stumped. What's the trick?   Sent from my Pixel 5 using Tapatalk

Re: Breather removal I usually just pull them out. Maybe push it out from the inside? If it’s old it might by stuck on the rubber grommet.

Re: Breather removal I thought those were just a rubber grommet. Probably old and will crack if you force it out.

Re: Breather removal If you can't break it out, I'd score it with an exacto knife or pneumatic body saw. Heck, a hacksaw blade would probably work too.
