Okay guys, need a little help with the 300D.
Seems we can't coerce the lower oil return tube to come out of its hole. The original rubber gasket is hard as a rock and I've dug out as much of it as I can, but even though the tube wiggles a good deal it just won't budge
up. We've gone so far as to put a noose of cord around it and have been prying it up with a crowbar levered against a 2X4 on the valve cover, and all we've accomplished is breaking two progressively larger sized cords.
Any hints for getting this guy out?
