I thought I had all disconnected when I put my my foot on the Valve Cover, leaned into the engine bay to grab the Intake by the fuel rails lifting forcibly
yet deliberately taking care NOT to damage the fuel injectors WHEN suddenly I realized I was still connected at the back!!!
Yikes! I had to think quickly and decided to balance the Intake on the cam cover and Oil cap!!!! How on earth does one remove the rather pliable
"throtttle body" hose connected on driver side of the base of the Intake where the Y-pipe would feed into??

This is the hose in question. There is a clamp visible around its base but you can rotate it side to side and when you look inside the Intake, the rubber mushroom shaped plug fitting rotates with it yet the tube which attaches to it inside leading up to presumably the throttle does NOT rotate. It seems the hose and the rubber fitting are one unit, so How do you remove the hose from the rubber fitting? Do you cut clasp with wire cutters to remove and then affix a clamp upon refitting??



How do you disconnect this?

Here's what it looks like from above peering into the Intake...



Rubber fitting rotates with outer hose. The hose the "connects" or emanates from the fitting leading into "throttle Body" does NOT Rotate, so fitting and internal hose are indeed separate while it appears the rubber fitting and the outer hose are "connected" to each other. Any clue how to remove the hose from the rubber fitting????
