Installing Weistec Oil Seperator and can't get Y breather off. Looked around but from what I've come across, doesn't have this flat square piece in the middle.

Weistec says to "Remove black plastic rear inlet Y by using a Flat Head Screw Driver to bend retaining clips and lift upward to remove"
What's holding it in place? I don't see any retaining clips. Don't want to yank and risk breaking anything.
Thanks in advance!




Using both of these as a guide since I'm doing spark plugs too;

You can see the right side clip in this pic (same on other side). It's a real pain in the dick to get to.

Edit: Fixed pic

Well you shouldn't be using your dick for those clips, you'll never reach them. Try using your skinny little girly arms to get your hands down there.

Arms aren't long enough to reach...

Thank you both for that, gave me a really good chuckle

Use a long flat heat screwdriver to get one side off, then prop it up so it doesn't click back down and remove the other side. It's not as straightforward as one would think but pretty easy after you've done it once.

PS. Start with the driver's side.

Got it off. Thanks for the advice guys, and the laugh!

I modified a paint can opening tool to pop the clips off, it's a really tight spot to get at. Good luck with it!
