Hey guys,

I'm in the middle of changing my spark plugs on my rb25de.

Anyone got any ideas I can try to take this rubber tube off? I already removed the clamps and used brute force but the thing won't budge.

It's the last thing I need to remove to be able to get to the coil pack cover :blink:

these....are one of the essential tools for a skyline owner!

if not....you need to break the seal between the hose and the metal.

carefully work the smallest bladed screwdriver you have between the hose and the pipe (don't stab the rubber, go under it). if you can work the screwdriver right around the pipe the hose will come straight off.

Another good trick is once you have the tip of the screw driver under the rubber and can prise it up spray some WD40 into the opening. This will help to soften the hose and allow you to get the screw driver in further to brake the seal between the hose and the pipe.

I would not put hot water anywhere near this area as it would run down over the coilpacks and the spark plugs.

give it a twist.

seriously, it's the same theory as the other techniques, you just need to break the bond between rubber and metal, sometimes rotating the hose helps break the contact first, then you just pull.

might be a bit hard if the hose is really stiff, but it's helped me many times over the years.

plus it also helps for putting hoses on.

+1 for giving it a twist, or getting some of those hose pliers. or get the biggest flat screwdriver you have and wedge it between the steel piece and the hose and try and lever it off (basically how the hose pliers would work)

this is the way i always deal with stuck hoses.

thanks mate, i need a fitting like that... if u can see in my sig photo, the rocker cover fitting on my rocker cover points upwards as they do standard and it makes my setup look a bit average.

Dont suppose anyone has one they want to sell to me?

So how do you wash your engine...? I use a hose...

hose pliers! and they have saved my knuckles more damage than any other tool I own

i really need to start that...."cool tools for skylines thread"....there's more where they came from!

+1 for cool tools thread..Its a great idea... :D

Got the hose off using a hair dryer, worked like a charm :(

Would've used hose pliers but couldn't find any today. :(

Bunnings and Supercheap didn't have them

I also tried to buy some today ,bursons said no...:(

I was using a hair dryer to dry paint the other day when i thought of it. .Hadnt actually tried it yet but glad it worked for you..

GF knows if she cant find her hair dryer its usually in the shed...lol

      RB20DE NEO smallbox clutch.

      By Kapr · Posted

      Hi...so a "development" here aswell The swap is "done" and car went "test drive" BUT it seems the clutch(maybe gearbox?) is a little bit sad? I bought this clutch kit https://justjap.com/products/xtreme-heavy-duty-organic-clutch-flywheel-kit-nissan-skyline-r31-r32-r33-push-type "Problem" is that the first gear is hard to put into and it seems that the clutch is not disengaged. It was not the problem with the old clutch...(or like sometime the first gear would not get as easy specialy when the fluid was cold) So? Can it be like...bad "install" or is the clutch wrong ((it should not have been) i done research to get the right one) Or is this "normal" with new clutch and needs to be break in?

      R33 GTST Steering Rack (49001-19U05) Rebuild?

      By Gantai · Posted

      Hey everyone, Wanted to pick some brains about this issue I'm having with rebuilding my 33 rack (PN is 49001-19U05). All of the tutorials/videos I've seen online are either R34 or S Chassis racks which seem to be pretty straightforward to disassemble but this process doesnt carry over to my rack. Few of the key differences that I've noted The pinion shaft on the other racks bolt on with 3 torx bolts: Whereas my rack bolts on with 2 allen head bolts: These changes are pretty inconsequential but the main difference is how you pull the actual rack out of the housing. The other skyline/s chassis racks can be taken out by tapping the rack out of the body with a socket and it just slides right out. I'm unable to do that with my rack because there's a hard stop at the end that doesn't let the seal/shaft be tapped out. Can also see a difference in the other end of the rack where mine has a notch that looks like you're able to use a big wrench to unthread 2 halves of the rack whereas the other racks are just kinda set in with a punch. My rack: Other racks: TLDR; Wanted to know if anyone has rebuilt this specific model of steering rack for the R33 and if there were any steps to getting it done easier or if I should just give this to a professional to get done. Sorry if this post is a bit messy, first one I've done.

      I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.
