   decided tonight that i wanted to do my rocker cover as the car would be sat over night.
   this would be the best time to do it, so i set about taking it off the car, but the top pipe would not budge for shit (i still have no idea how it comes off) and now i have snapped a pipe.
   
   the car idles really low now and i can hear the snapped pipe sucking in lots of air
   
   
   
   
   
   ^^^ that is the pipe there that i am struggling with

   bit off copper brake pipe should fit inside both parts then try and put a o ring on outerside and tighten up or a bit off insulation tape round it should get you out off trouble

   if you havent got that look for a t piece conector and bloke the t part and fit in either end , this is a get you out off trouble fix as well
   
   or also you can try and get a pipe that will fit over the snapped part and jubbly clip either end

    went to the scrappers today to get a pipe, came back with one i was sure would fit, and it didn't !!
    
    just bodged my old one with some duck tape for now which seems to have done the trick.
    
    i can also confirm that the yellow clip is indeed pushed in to release the pipe!! shame as i dont have time to do it now
