Step 1 - Go through the steps for removing the 3000 pipe

Step 2 - Squeeze the metal clip connecting the PCV system to the throttle body and work it back down the pipe so it doesn't hold the rubber hose on to the metal tube

Step 5 - Use a spanner to undo the 12mm bolt holding the bracket for the PCV pipe in place. Be careful not to drop the bolt, undo the last bit with your fingers

Step 6 - Retract the metal spring clips up the rubber hose for both the cam cover breathers. You want to pull the rubber hose away with the pipework rather than leaving them connected to the cam covers
