Thread: Are these removable???

There are 2 metal tubes on top of the intake manifold that I need to get off to put on my other Intake Manifold. Can these be removed or can I purchase them new from the dealership?

I think they are pressed in/ molded in, from what I've seen of other nipples,I dont have them on my car (ve) good luck

They are removable. I would suggest vice grips, and a little heat on the manifold to ease removal if they are real stubborn. They are factory pressed in. I actually had to JB weld my brake booster nipple back in on my low port. It got whacked real good and bent a little. Greg V @ G-spec may be able to hook you up, or tell you where to get these. I didn't see them on Courtesy. Why is it that you would need to remove the PCV nipples on your High Port mani to install another one though? If you aren't going to reuse these advance auto sells a nice assortment kit of silicon vacuum nipples for around 6 bucks IIRC. I used alot of them when deleting emission crap.

Actually they are $2.29 in my area. They are a life saver

I got them off today, used the heat gun on them for awhile then wiggles and pulled on the nubs with a vice grip. Thanks for the suggestion on the heat!

I need them on my manifold because I'm going to try to smog my Sentra so I can drive it again.
