Won’t it be easer disconnecting the tube from the intake side, close of the opening in the intake, and just attach the filter on to the tube?

[y2daniel1981]

that's basically what it says to do. but you had to remove the tube to the intake or else the breather is just going to be bouncing around. I tried doing it without removing the cover, but it wasn't working very well, it went a lot better after I removed the engine cover

i see, good how-to, do you get any oil coming out from the brither filter?

[y2daniel1981]
