my wire tuck is officially on the way, weekends and full days of work ahead of me, but that's ok.

question number one in a few parts.

on the back of the intake manifold on my b18b is an L shaped nozzel connected to a vaccum hose. Most people should know the one i'm talking about. it's facing up. I am under the understanding that upon removing the hose connecting that particular piece, it (the nozzel) can actually be rotated and turned down, this concealing the vaccum hose it's self (after rerouting it under stuff) from the casual eye. I REALLY REALLY do NOT want to break my car.

It seems to be pretty solid in the IM, can it be forced without breakage?
does it pull out?
will it need to be resealed afterwards?

in one of the new issues of import tuner (just because i like that magazine doesn't mean i live by it, honda tuning is my favorite by far) they do a wire tuck on a civic wielding a b18c5, and do just that (reference my above question) they just don't really say HOW. just to do it. comments suggestions and thoughts please? i want to start easy first.

easy being, this hose, injectors, ground wire, and headlight harnesses.

later abs/ac/powersteering will be pulled. i'll post pictures once i've made some decent progress. i will also try to find a picture of the piece i'm talking about.

 

the piece i'm talking about is very visible in this shot. the bronze piece in the top. http://images.google.com/imgre...a%3DN

 

im pretty sure you can take a pair of pliars and twust it down, like it has threading in there like a screw or regular bolt would.

but i'm just assuming that so don't quote me

 

word, i hope so... maybe a few more people will throw some advice out, if I bust that **** up I'm going to be without a ride for a while.
