e30 325i inlet removal

How does it come off the pipe that goes into the block, its got me at a complete stop here.

The tube with the spring on one end of it?

[Dod]

Thats the one. I'm sorted now though, I man'd up, got a firm gril on my tube and pulled it off. There was a mess at the end but at least I got off. Next step is back to the engine.


when refitting the lot, do I use instant gasket around either end or are there seals that need replacing?

[HealyC]

Yeah pull like fuck, great job putting it back on

Yeah replace the O-rings and use some grease to make it easier to get in!

[Dod]

Cheers buddy. Almost there now.
