Anybody in the 90621 area want to help me install me new BOV? I tried doing it today with the help of my neighbor and I ended up breaking my snap ring pliers. All I got done was removing my old broken BOV.

Or does anybody know a place that can weld in the new flange for cheap in this area? My car isn't in a drivable condition seeing as how theres a huge hole in the piping for my intercooler...

I need this done by Monday (12/12) because I have work/school.

you need a channel lock for that snap ring... go to home depot and ask them for it its like 15-30 bucks

Buying another set of pliers is somewhat out of the question for me, I'm on a stretch for money...

you can work the c clip into the flange with a punch and a hammer. slip one side of the c clip into the flange and press the rest with the punch or a screw driver. it would be easier if you take the piping off the car and do it on a bench or table. you will have to spin the blow valve around as you press the rest of the c clip in. after all of it is in, make sure the bov is pointing where you want it and use the hammer and punch to make sure the c clip is seated all the way into the groove.

Yea, I haven't tried taking out the piping because it's so much a hassle but I really have to get it on by Monday around 6pm, so I think I'll do it tomorrow. I'm in a desperate situation right now...
