So I tried to replace the o-rings on the push rod tubes. I was able to pull 3 out of the 8 tubes using pliers but I cannot believe that there is not an easier and more efficient way of pulling those tube out. Not saying that using pliers, even when being careful, there is a risk of damaging the tube.
Does anyone know of a tool to get them out? I would see some kind of expanding device that fits inside of the tube with a kind of slide hammering device to get them out. I am pretty sure that someone that does this routinely will have a tool! |

Hose pilers are your friend.

You have no choice You should not put the motor into the car now that this tube is molested It will leak for sure Replace it Buy a new or clean used one Screw the rag Clamp down and grab it Ignore the damage to the tube Get it out Clean the rtv that the idiot used to install it Put the replacement tube in with viton seals and no rtv |
