pipe should be in mazda tomorrow morning, £7 it cost. I lost my temper pulling the pipe off ending up with about an inch long stub left on the rotor housing and the metal clip still on. It\'s the metal clip being a tw4t. If you think you can get it off you are welcome to have a blast. It\'s over my parents house about a mile away from my house.

I\'ll need to get a new gasket too on the throttle body side.

Jame5 , can you get to that clip with a pair of long nose pliers? You will need to get the clip off before that piepe will come off, I think.

I\'m going to pinch some long nose pliars from work tomorrow and give it a try. If not I\'ll cut the clip and order one from mazda tomrrow along with the gasket

lol i thought that ud slid the clip up the pipe b4 u tryd 2 take the pipe off,
iv got loads of the pinch clips if u need any,

Jame5

I tried my best with the tools I had :rolleyes:   :rollin  I\'ll try the long nose tomorrow and see if I can get it off.

Dont break that clip, Mazda dont keep them, and I cannot find where alse to get them.

ASP can I buy those clips somewhere?  I wouldnt mind doing all my vacuum hoses up with those littel spring clips. Some people recommend cable ties, but I tested and they dont help much.

You will need quite a long pair of long nosed pliers, by the way.

i work next to a scrap yard,so what ever bits n bobs i need i just pop in there and get it,
quite a few cars hav them pinch clips on them,

Martiny

Yes the clips are on most cars, thats why im surprised that I cant get them anywhere.
