Exclamation REQUEST: How To Remove and Install BOV

I already searched the forum with no luck. I just bought a metal EVO X BOV and was wondering the steps from taking mine off and putting on the new one. Pics and or video would be greatly appreciated!

It's a simple swap. The orientation and hoses are all used the same.

Is there gaskets or liquid gaskets involved? I know when I swapped mine in my old SRT-4 I have to use liquid gaskets.

it's a quick and simple swap - unscrew the clip, pry apart the other little clip, pull out the bov from the pipework, put in the new bov and screw it in tight and put the little clip back on and viola, done

yeap its that simple... but honestly if you can't figure this out just by looking at it then you should put the tools down and step away... probably one of the most idiot proof installs

take it easy now, everyones gotta learn sometime. though i think the op's main concern was whether he needed to add any sealant or gasket/o-ring to the swap in order to make sure there were no boost/vacuum leaks that might cause drivability issues. i think most people looking to do work to their car can figure out worm clamps.
