are you trying to remove the plastic tube from its rubber end? if you are then that's the prob. the fat rubber end comes off with the plastic vac tube. there is no special tool; they can be on there tight from time. i was removing the ones to my thermactor solenoids and cut my hands up pretty good when it finally came off....

got her off, just needed a little persuasion

noticed shop i took it into to have dyno tuned and new injectors installed
did not re-connect the EGR vac line. ( no wonder my throttle response sucked )
as I was trying to get it re-connected it broke from dry-rot.

if you are in Houston, DO NOT use houstonperformance.com

they were supposed to adjust all my rockers, making a ton of noise now
have to go thru and re-do them all again myself to figure out which one is loose.

rockers not set right
never solved my PCV issue
left a vac line off EGR valve.
I was able to put in 4 degrees more timing than they put in for "tune"

They're getting a call on Monday......................

That suck man, sorry to hear that. If you're ever up hear in Dallas, I got a place for ya. HPP specializes in boosted applications, but they can make a fox run like a bat out of hell from what other people around here have said.
