Default b16a2 broken vacuum nipplet



A good part of that nipplet broke off while i was messing with it earlier. Now it's sitting flush inside the manifold and i can't seem to able to get it out to have it replaced with a new one. Should this be something i should be worry about?

looks like its bent from the photo,


drill it out and jbweld a new one in there. Or maybe they make a tapered one. Id just jb weld a vacum metal one in there dont use too much.. take off the whole intake manifold too if your drilling it out

or maybe get a skinnier one in there and jbweld it somehow.

or jbweld it shut and make another custom vacuum line somewhere else on the intake manifold or sumthing

Well obviously you gotta get it out, use a long magnet after taking off the throttle body to get it out. You could even try to get to it through the iacv hole, depending on your magnet. I would just try to jb weld it back on.

I got it off now. All i had to do was tap it out with a small screw nail and then, pliers to yank it out with afterward...Problem solved!
