why the hell would you waste money on a manifold when the problem is a 3 dollar hose.....

this lol. seriously man, just keep at it.

Remove your manifold.
Buy hose and replace it
Don't buy a new manifold.

[newlovekid]

i did remove the whole manifold and bought the new hose but that hose is hard to get in.. you get one side in then you have to figure out how to get the other side in ha its like a puzzle

[Razi]

Have you tried removing the brass pipe from the manifold?

[newlovekid]

nevermind i think i figured it out haha

[newlovekid]

yea thats what i figured out. im going to remove the little lines at the bottom and see if it moves one side

[Razi]

It's not a Rubix cube!
I replaced all the hoses in my manifold without much problem.
I'd recommend doing that for the other hoses since they might leak sooner or later.

wd-40 is your friend

One of the Hard lines is held in place with a 10mm nut its somewhere by the EGR stuff...Take it off and the whole line will give you play so you can put a new line on.

lol i use a blade, works like a charm

[newlovekid]

ha i greased it up already. taking off the whole hardline thing at the bottom should move it and ill slip the new hose in. it should work... hopefully lol and im planing to change all the lines cause i dont want to do this again ha

[Tantwoforty]

thats a very good choice lol

[Tantwoforty]

quick question for razi on this matter,
when you replaced all your little hoses did you get nissan oem ones?
i would like to do this while i have it of the car and such but im not sure how to go about it and im not sure about the cost.
