Default Whats ontop of my valve cover?

Hey all I got a question. The two little plastic hose things that are ontop of my valve cover. One goes to your air filter box the other is a vacuum hose. Well how do you get them out of your valve cover?

Assuming you're doing this so you can remove the cover? Pull on them.. They'll come off

if you are looking to replace them take the hoses off and the valve cover and break them apart or try and pull them out. but if you try and break them you need to make sure that you get all the pieces out of the valve cover bc they will be in the engine. best thing to do is do it upside down so everything will fall out

Ok these things will break. Remove the valve cover and the rubber hoses attached to it. The lay the cover on the ground and take screwdriver and a hammer and just start wacking that plastic pos into pieces till the hole is clear. Proceed to then buy your new elbow things.
