Fabulous suggestion. At 200,000 miles, my wire connectors were baked in place. Using Liquid Wrench, only one of 8 came out; 7 others broke so I pulled the wires out of the body and followed your recommendation. They all came out. Thank you for saving the day!
I watched your video after the fact . What I ended up doing was breaking it up with a screwdriver and a hammer and eventually picking it out using a couple Harbor Freight pics with the O-ring it was a pain but I did get them out. Got everything changed in about two-and-a-half hours
Mine broke as soon as I touched them at the T. I got a couple out clean but a couple broke like yours did. I was thinking just run a deck screw in it and hit it with on blaster. Thought I would check to see if anybody else had done that

Trick #1 is to go in through the wheel well instead of from above so you have better access.
For the passenger side yes. If you remove the air filter and relocate the de-gas bottle, everything is accessible.
Nice ya dropped it in the snow 🙄🤣 great vid helped out quite a bit 👍👍
Thanks for posting a video definitely a good tip!
Very good idea, I am struggling with the same thing! I'm gonna try this. THANKS
I did the exact same thing never made video wish I had now for helping others

Nice vid about to do this job. Btw change you oil filter cap! That's the wrong one, stick with oem
Has anyone ever tried twisting them a little before removing, to loosen them up, or is that something no one thinks of or does. Or is it not possible.
Twisting probably won't help. The o-ring sticks to the head and twisting is only rotating the plastic inside the o-ring.
I did that an mine shattered lol
