need help removing broken piece that's inside intake manifold. The part that is broke is circled in the picture below and it goes from intake manifold to vacuum line and to brake booster. It broke off and now the only part that is left is inside the intake manifold and need to find a way to take it out without taking off the manifold. any and all help is appreciated



btw its a b20 swap with ls intake manifold in 00 civic, if that helps any

 

It's a press fit piece, and given how old this hardware is...good luck. Your only option is to eat the **** out of it with a torch, then pick and pry at it with pliers until it comes out. Don't expect it to come out intact.

 

try an easy out for pipe may work and pull out the remains so it doesnt go into manifold

 

manifold is going to have to come off, I can help you get it out, send me a PM and I'll see what I can do, but that part really needs to come off

 

most of the time Honda uses the same size on those pressed in fittings for the brake booster, but I can't tell you for sure without measuring it, but normally it's a 33/64 drill bit to drill it out, then you can tap it to 9/16-18, which allows you to screw in a -6 straight AN coupler to -6 male, the end that screws into the manifold is just like a -6, but without the flare, and seals with an O ring, you might, and I mean might, be able to find a -6 straight flare to a pipe thread, which would keep you from having to use AN fittings. but normally the size of the hole for those pressed in fittings, is almost the exact size needed to drill and tap for 9/16 -18 edit, if I ever get out to the plant and I have a spare -6 to pipe thread adapter around, i can mill off the flare, and make you an adapter with 9/16 18 on one end and pipe thread on the other, this would let you go to a brass block and a regular pipe nipple for a hose, it won't take me a but a few minutes to machine it down, it depends on if I have any left over

 

Id pull the manifold you dont want any metal going into your engine

 

so I lucked out and got it out without having to take off the intake manifold, I used no.4 extractor and came out fairly easy, hope this helps out other people

 

Nice to hear that pancho good job man

 

thats exactly what i was going to suggest. common sense to use an extractor on pressed fittings

 

where are you going to get another one?

 

Get the one off my d series, see if that works or try to find one at the junkyard
