rounce Posted October 17, 2012 Share #1 Posted October 17, 2012 I have been trying to put in place the airbox assembly into an 83 venture. I cannot get those blasted hoses that goes from the box into their proper places . Anybody have any ideas to make the connections? I've worked on this and I have gotten nowhere! Help!

twigg Posted October 17, 2012 Share #2 Posted October 17, 2012 Well the main four connections will go on easily with a push on the bx, so I imagine you are stuck on the breather hose. Attach it to the box, feed it through as you put the box in place then grab the bottom end with some hose pliers to fasten the lower end. Takes but a minute with the correct tool ... and hours without it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trader Posted October 17, 2012 Share #3 Posted October 17, 2012 I went out and bought a pair of long (10")needle bent nose plyers for just that reason! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dingy Posted October 17, 2012 Share #4 Posted October 17, 2012 Harbor Freight sells these pliers for way under $10. Think this is what Twigg was referring to. About 12" long. Gary Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The set of two pliers at Harbor Freight were worth every penny. Also, wipe just a little grease on the inside of the tubes to help slide down.
