terrajon Report post Posted June 20, 2019 I'm trying to remove the intake manifold to access the fuel injectors on my 2017 2.0L Ecoboost. (the next step in my quest to diagnose a repeated cylinder #2 misfire). The brake booster hose runs into the right side of the manifold & seems to require a special tool for removal, or at least I think so. The coupler is red, round and smooth (there's no clips). Does anyone have experience with this hose/coupler and what it takes to remove it? I've searched this forum and the internet and can't seem to find any mention of it. thanks!

omar302 Report post Posted June 20, 2019 I found the attached Quick Release Coupling.pdf . Maybe it will help. Sorry can't help more. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lildisco Report post Posted June 20, 2019 I removed this when i did my catch can install. I believe that if you push the pipe to the intake manifold & use something to hold the red ring on the intake manifold, it should pop right off. Doubt this will help, but here's part of my catch can install: https://www.fordedgeforum.com/topic/22063-oil-catch-can-on-the-20l-ecoboost/?do=findComment&comment=165970 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
terrajon Report post Posted June 21, 2019 (edited) Thanks for the replies you guys. Lildisco, your tip did the trick! It still took a few minutes to finesse it off. Here's a shot of it removed for anyone attempting this in the future. Edited June 21, 2019 by terrajon words 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
