M7 Oil Catch Can install help

1. How do you get the tube off of the vacuum line (grey line), it is really tight?

2. Do you cut the line that was connected to the vacuum line to put the "T" connector in?

3. What did you do about the line that goes from the air box hose to the valve cover?

Any help would be appreciated.

Didn't you get the M7 directions? If you didn't contact Peter immediately. I just installed an M7 OCC and found the directions straight forward and clear. I followed the directions and had it done in no time at all. What took the longest was deciding where I wanted to put the can!

And yes, the stock connection / tubing can be hard to get off.

I got the install diagram, but didn't know if some of the stock tubing was used with the install.

lets see facing the engine - connection point left - iused the stock bent tubing (just rotated it) and hooked it up to the M7 tubing. Connection point right were the "T" goes - I cut the stock tubing - leaving enough for the "T" to connect.

if you want picks, I can send this weekend - just drop me a PM w/ yr email.
