B58 Intake Manifold Help
Good afternoon y'all!
2016 340i, gaskets on the oil cooler connected to the oil filter housing took a dive, and coolant is flowing freely. Decided to replace the entire unit assembly. Ordered a new filter housing, and am in the middle of taking the intake manifold off, however the two lines underneath with spring clips are the bane of my existence. I cannot find any good tips/help on making the removal of these any easier nor more insightful and I need y'alls help. I appreciate any info/links/videos if you have them. (I've watched Kies video, and its the closest yet doesn't provide great info other than use a pick tool and dig around) |

It’s a pain in A$$ to get those removed.
Completely remove the DME if you haven’t done yet, it’s gonna give you more space go work. Take a deep breath, take you time and you will make it. Help from small hands also might help |

Man I watched Kevin's video and it looks a real pain so I hope mine doesn't fail any time soon.
Way more involved than a turbo swap and no unicorns at the end of it. |

My brother, I would rather bare hand a turbo after track day than do any of this jazz, but if you do the youtuber mentioned above is a huge help!

After removing the clip I couldn’t get the first hose off to save my life. I ended up having to remove both of them from the other ends, wish I had done that sooner it would’ve saved me a lot of time and back pain 😅 side note after I got the entire manifold off sprayed the connections down with wd40 they still wouldn’t pop off. Let’s hope I don’t have a leak from one of those lines anytime soon because I have a feeling I will be replacing the entire intake manifold
