I thought about removing the center piece from the air cleaner housing that they all attach to, but it appears to really like being attached to the housing.

Did get my glow plugs, water pump and thermostat replaced.
Yes it is a bad thing to do. You can possibly blow out a seal.

The tube your referring to is to drain the oil collected from the oil separator built into the air box.
