Catch can install for an 09 LS3
I am installing a catch can. The PCV tubing that you remove, as seen in the various directions, looks very different on my car vs. the LS2 directions. For those of you have done this on an 09 LS3 do the hoses just pull off or is there some kind of release mechanism? It is tough to see back in there!
Thanks!!

The little loop of hose that you want to remove to put on your catch can hoses comes off exactly the same as the clip on hose that runs between the throttle body accordian bellows and the metal line on top the valve cover. Unclip this yourself and you will understand exactly what you need to do to unclip the U shaped hose. The clamp mechanism is exactly the same. You need a long thin screwdriver as a pry tool to work the clamp.
You can see the hose in the picture below. The clamp on this is the same.
Once you get one end off you can twist the hose around to get a better working angle to unclip the other end.

They do, you just can't see it in the above picture with the plastic fuel rail cover on. Looks pretty much the same as previous LS engines. Just a short loop of hose connects the two ports. I looked, but couldn't easily find a picture showing it though I've seen a ton of them.
