hi,

i'm trying to replace driver side breather hose but it is under throttle body. there a black housing on throttle body and does anybody know how to remove it?

 

Try this. Be careful not to break the plastic clips. The top clips are latched in the middle separate them with a screwdriver.

what about metal clip in the bottom back side of black plastic housing?

 

You can push that backward just enough so it disengages. Do it carefully.

 

theres no need to remove the t/b. remove the bottom 2 torx bolts work the clip out and pull the y off the t/b to remove the breather hose

 

The risk here is destroying the seal if it is a paper gasket or the O-ring if it has one of those. Once disturbed these are often never the same again. My O-ring was shot after 20,000 miles when I took the TB off.

 

just did the catch can on jhm2k's car last weekend. removed the tubes and y tube from the t/b without removing the t/b. didnt disturb anuthing. remove the lower bolts and leave the upper bolts tight. nothing moves on the t/b. ez peazy

 

The tube is on top of the TB on the NA.
I have to look at installing my catch can on my SRT, I can't see squat down there at the moment.

 

gotcha. wasnt thinking n/a. you cant really see anything on the 6 gotta do it by feel.

 

Are the bolts removed to better access the area?
I was going to put this on the NA, but then got the SRT, now I have to put it on that car instead.
I know how to put it on the NA but I have not seen that area on the SRT, all the hoses are hidden. Is it best to remove the NW CAI to get to that area? It looks like it would be.
I have not seen the NW instructions on the SRT. Vague wording somewhere about removing the TB I recall.

 

remove the dcai then the 2 lower bolts on the t/b. this allows the y clamp that secures the y tube on the t/b to be removed. i also removed the manis so they could be cleaned. very tight fit and best done by feel. practice on the girlfriend first!!

 

does it lift straight up or twist off?

or should i try to unbolt it but i might hurt the gasket?

 

It just lifts out when that steel catch is moved out of the way.
