Video tutorial

In this short video, you will see how to remove or insert the last cylindrical end of the air intake connector. Often, when installing or removing the air intake connector, this small cylindrical tip is overlooked.

If you need to insert it, you will need a hollow wrench that you will place on the cylinder. Simply tap the wrench with a hammer to push the cylinder into the housing.

Conversely, if you need to remove the small metal cylinder, use the slot that runs along its side. Leverage a tool on the slot to loosen the grip of the cylinder and remove it.
