Hi All,
Just spent an hour or so trying to fix the leak I have with the perished pipes at the throttle body heater plate. Took the throttle body off to replace the gasket on the underneath of it. No problem... I'm replacing the throttle inlet and return pipes. Got the long thin one that goes from the expansion tank to the throttle back on. No problem... But I can't manage to get the short pipe back on, it's located in such a tight f£$%ing spot that I can't get any purchase on it to slide it back on far enough. It's on, but not far enough I don't think.
Anyone got any ideas/tips for getting a pipe such as this back on in such a small place???
Tried washing liquid and needle nose pliers so far. Irritating to get so far and not be able to complete the job!
Any advice would be extremely welcome, thank you.
