Not sure if anyone has had this issue before. The large nipple on the intake manifold for my d16z6 is pinched. Being a metal line I'm not sure if it can be replaced by itself or if it requires the change of the entire manifold.
Anyone have any ideas or experience with this?
I tried pulling it out of my manifold on my car and my spare manifold with no luck.

 

u cant pull those nipples out they are pressed or molded in the casting. u need to try to unkink it some by bending it or beat something like a tapered punch down it to open it back up...if ur brakes still function properly then don't worry about it...im sure it can be alil kinked and still work fine

 

So it isn't removable. Thanks thats exactly what i wanted to know.
I'm going to try heating the nipple and heating up a punch to try and reform it.
