How do I uninstall the Alta catch can

Hello,

What is involved in uninstalling the Alta oil catch can? I know we cut into a hose (maybe two?) when installing it. I assume the hose(s) would have to be replaced but getting in to where you can reinstall them versus where you have to get to cut them seems much more involved. It's easy enough to reach down and cut them, but to actually install that breather hose (I think that's what it is called) seems like it would be more involved.

Can anyone shed light on this subject?

Thanks!

They say I need two cans now, any donations available???



j/k to uninstall, just reconnect the hoses to their original places. Left side PCV hose to the grey line. Crank Case Vent Hose (right side of valve cover) goes to the intake tube leading to the throttle body, this connection does not have to be pretty, just get it connected and cut out as much tubing as you can without letting it kink up. hope this helps
