Hey guys,
I hope you are all doing well.
I was trying to switch the stock intake in my Camaro 2018 (2.0) with the Injen Evo 7300 CAI but unfortunately, I am stuck at the PCV hose (crankcase) from the intake tube. I don't know how to remove it. There was no tool in the box to be used for the removal.
The 2016/17 models had a different clip. I have attached pictures for reference.
Awaiting the help from y'all!

It's a common problem, there is a tool that will take it off, don't try to force it. It referenced in old CAI threads on here, I don't know where off the top of my head tho. Basically it slides under and releases the clips.

I removed mine with a set of pick tools (the 90 degree ones) to slide both counterclockwise simultaneously and gently push up. If it does break on yours, your local chevy dealership may not have it in stock. I bought a spare just in case. Realized the K&N intake does not require removal after jumping the gun on the instructions (dumb me).

get a set of plastic hose removers from the parts store. will have to grind the (TOOL) plastic neck down to accommodate the clearance. it looks like this connector uses 2 legs.

either way you want to slide a shim up the connector head to disengage the tabs.

Thanks, guys.
But I live in Canada and it's not available in the nearby stores.
Online is not an option thanks to covid since sites like Amazon are taking a month to deliver (EVEN ON PRIME).
Any alternative?

Did you check ordering the tool thru Home Depot?

Another option is using a pick tool. Check out this set from Princess Auto

The HomeDepot only has it in US, and the Post#5 refers to the old clip. I'll found one at Canadian tire. Will order tomorrow. Hopefully that should work. If not, will try my luck with these sites.
Thanks guys!

Thank you, everyone.
The metallic disconnect tool is simply not enough as it does not fit well. Used it along with the pick tool set (which was too tiny to be used exclusively). and IT WORKEDD!

Congrats, you'll love it. I had a brief light with mine but it went away and has not come back.
