Hi Guys!!
I been having a hard time pulling the push rod tubes with the engine in my car, I have twisted and pull with pliers with no good luck, bend it a little bit don't want to damage it, is there a special tool? did not found any tread here or at the web.
Thank you.

| Spray it with some kind of penetrating oil and let it soak in a bit and then try pulling and twisting again. There's no special tool that I know of, you could try using a strap wrench if you have one. If you damage them just order replacements. |

| Put a round piece of metal inside the tube so you don't crush it. I use a 12mm deep socket. Twist away! |
