How do I get the charge pipe off?

[killerhurtalot]

Been trying to replace my charge pipe like twice now. (remove air box, remove all clamps and pull the c clip up into place and etc)

I got everything off except for the c clip part attached to the engine... I've done almost everything except just snapping the thing off and I can't just seem to wiggle it loose.

Any tips on getting the charge pipe off? I've watched all the youtube videos and diy walk-throughs and etc...

you literally just slide the pin upwards and the chargepipe should wiggle free

I did do that three times already and I can't seem to pull the charge pipe off either by wiggling it or just brute forcing it :/

I sometimes will take a flat head and just give it a tap with a hammer to break it free

Thanks! I'll try that sometime next week.

Make sure you undo the connector to the MAF I had the same problem because I spaced and forgot to remove this connection.
