Breather tube removal from IH

[LGAFF]

Ever need to remove a breather tube from an IH? You can heat the hell out of it then scratch it up trying to pull it out, or go to Autozone and get and OEM brand......blind hole puller(no thats not code for a handy through a hole in the mens room)

Use the largest puller 27128, and a few whacks with the slide hammer and its out......sweet!

This tool is also great for pulling our pilot bearings, you can have them out in 5 minutes or less.

Yep! I've needed one on so many occasions - from pulling dents to pulling pilot bushings, more pilot bushings...that I don't think I'll return it to AutoZone this time. Recon I'll just have one around. Sweet tool!:thumbsup:

Harbor Freight has these for $32

Which tube? The large ones under the plenum, or the smaller sharp 90-degree ones on the exterior side? I have to say, neither seemed to require any special tools.

I agree with aurora. I didn't use anything special to remove them when I did it.

The ones under the plenum can be hard to take out, I imagine it viries from car to car, but the hole puller takes three wacks and no damage...
