The ETA bolts have been removed, but the ETA just doesn't want to get past th e intake manifold. I have the new replacement - but ...

Should I remove the air pollution tube, disconnected the top part of the tube - but.

Wait Wait - I just remembered I didn't remove the springs.

Is that my error? I'm in Missouri and the car is in New Jersey.

Thanks
