    Broken OPSU

    I'm just curious as to what breaks these when pulling the intake manifold. I pulled my intake yesterday and found it broken. I just don't want to repeat it when I put it back together today.

    I can see where tilting it too far back can do it as well as possibly the break booster vacuum hose.

    Thanks in advance.

    No doubt about that (I'm at 359,000 miles and it was the first time I've yanked the intake. I was just careful putting things back together.
