Well, today I attempted the removal process on my parts car, for a practice run. I found it helped to remove the allen bolt on the harness channel, because the harness then can be tilted up out of the way, giving some more room. It also helped to remove the clamp on the fuel injector. However, I could not remove the bottom of the long hose, and in fact it broke off. After reading Merkey's description, it seems someone put the lower end of the long hose inside the barb, not over it This resulted in rock hard rubber inside the barb, which was impossible to get out. I may try a heatgun to soften the hose and see if I can pull it out. Of course, I am assuming the hose does go over the barb, not into it. My car has no clamp, but in a MB schematic for a 1991 w124 I see a clamp where the hose connects with the ICV. Merkey, before I try this on my working car, I would appreciate it if you would confirm about the lower hose going over the barb and that the clamp goes on the top at the ICV connection. Thanks.
