After removing the bolt, tap on the vent with a rubber hammer while pulling and wiggling it from side to side. The bottom of the pipe is tapered and is a friction fit into the block. | | | | | Joined: Oct 2006 Posts: 9,671 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Oct 2006 Posts: 9,671 | Remove screw and spacer from bracket at the oil pan. Using a soft hammer tap draft tube back and forth slightly while pulling up on it. It may take a few minutes but it will eventually come out.
