yeah, I feel for you. I'm at the point where I have to remove the stuff that sits on top of the injectors. Found the one vacuum port just like you, and thought "I'll come in and see review some youtube videos to make sure I'm not missing something". Incidentally, I bought the same gauge as you too 😟
Once you're pre-prepared for it it does get easier. Make sure you let the device self calibrate on powerup with nice straight clear hoses. Otherwise it can read quite a bit off. I've just done the 20k service and had to go through it all again. I actually cut a longer bit of tube for the middle one. I've 3d printed some "things" to support the front of the tank too but did that after I was done so i'll be ready for next time.
Hm. I bought a more primitive tool without a screen, this is not looking like an easy job though. Everyone on the Internet just repeats over and over again it’s a 20 minute job without actually doing it.
Given there are no "pipes" in that area and given I've just done the 20k service and thus I've had to do this again i'm not sure of the point of your post. If you're referring to all of the breather hoses then no, you don't remove them. They would be a nightmare to remove while you fit the hoses from the synchroking after which you have to put them all back to properly before you sync the throttle bodies. That's an insane amount of work for what is now a very quick job after you replace the small vacuum caps with hoses you can grab easily. In fact I took the shortest of my replacements and swapped it with a much longer piece of tube and put that in the middle which is the hardest one to find and remove. Syncing is now a 30 min job.
I'm purchasing a 2024 MT-09 this week. I do my own work, and I'm not looking forward to the sync. My 2019 Tracer isn't too bad to sync, but it's still a pain. Thanks for the heads-up!
