Vacuum fitting replacement how-to. . .

[strad]

The offending piece is under the manifold, has the valve cover breather line plugged into it, as well as a few other things. What is the best way to get to it? I'm not seeing any obviously good access, and my search has not been helpful in this regard. Bentley's no good either, since it doesn't cover this aspect of the E30 version of the M42 very well. Just wondering how other people who have dug into the snake's nest have gone about it, specifically is there a good way to do this without r/r of the entire upper/lower manifold, or should I just take the whole thing off.

Take the whole thing off.

Thanks! I'm afraid I'm not going to have as much fun doing this as you did though ;)
