I'm cleaning up my recently acquired '76 2.0 and the EGR system is going.
I have removed the air distributor tubes but the connectors that go into the heads have me puzzled. I don't want to break them and a wrench feels like it's twisting the tube, not loosening it.  I can't get the tins off without removing them first. Do they just press in/pull out? Are they threaded in? Any help is appreciated. |

Leave them in. Get a ball bearing to fit the flare and install the nut over it. If you try to remove the tube you will open a can of worms that will ultimately require you to pull the heads.
