It's pretty straight forward dude. Pull the clip out, put a new pipe in with o-ring, put clip back in. Tadaa.

Cheers mate I didn't get an O ring with the pipe what's the easiest why to get to it from underneath or up top does the clip pull off.. It's made a right mess of my block 😢

Make sure you use an o-ring. It should have came in a pipe kit but if your old one is still in there you can clean it up and use it.

Put a flat head screw driver and pry the clip out. You can see the clip in the pic.
When I did mine , I had the intake manifold off so it was easy :)

+1, I had the intake manifold off as well. For the price of a manifold gasket it made sense to me to just pull everything out of the way and seat it correctly etc. Plus the added insurance I wasn't going to snap off some other brittle piece of breather tubing in the process.

I'd replace it for the 034 kit.

What's the 034 kit

034 motorsports. there is an early version and a late version. the split is in 2003-2004 I believe. someone correct me if I'm wrong.

Great kit. been performing flawlessly for me. easy install with intake manifold off. gives you a chance to replace some of those gaskets along with injector cups (which are a pain to remove-special tool highly recommended) and o rings. 1-2 hour job if you know what you're doing.

I went in under the manifold by way of the thermostat, which I was replacing anyway. The hardest part was getting the spring clip out.

I also used the 034 Motorsports kit for the late-AMB engine.
