any HMT way to take off a hks bov?
 

I searched on how to take it off the flange... Supposedly I need to use "snap ring pliers" to remove the inner snap ring ( "C" shaped)... I don't have these and I don't really feel like buying them either. Anyone know any other tool that I'll probably have lying around my garage that I could use.

hate to say it but you are going to have to get the snap ring pliers...they're only like $6. the hks is a pain in the ass to get off.

you can try needle nose pliers but you might as well fork a couple bucks to get a snap ring plier to make life easier

the goal now is to give up before I start and hope someone buys the piping along with the BOV, so I never have to separate them.
