Best way to do it is pop the UIM off, unplug the solonoids, mark the pipes you need to remove to lift the rats nest out. unscrew & unbolt the mess, lift it out and do one pipe at a time, cut the pipes off the solonoids, because with the age of the rubber hose it bites down hard and you are more likely to snap the fitting off the solonoid!!


Best place I have found to get hose from is Viper performance! If I remember correctly you need 3mm and 4mm pipe, and I think the viper stuff is 3mm wall thickness, so good quality! as for the amount, to do the nest itself it is something stupid like 4m of 3mm and 2m of 4mm, but best check on that!
