Oil breather box removal and clean out 200 1989

I too took teh Intake Manifold Off.

MOST of teh stuff does not have to come off at all. The Intake Bellows and that basic stuff does come off But then you can unbolt the manifold with Gas lines intact and just rock it up and out of the way.

The hurdle with getting the Separator out with the Intake in place is the Brass fitting for the Heater core. It is Right where it shouldn't be. With the Intake off, it gives you some freedom to move the Separator to the side as you lift it up and off.

I cleaned my Separator with Home heating oil.. A great Crud softener without being harmful to plastic. And for the Top opening I had a 3/8th threaded rod that i used, basically, as a saw to cut through the crud. I sat the separator in a bucket of Home heating oil (Diesel or kerosene is just as good) took it out from time to time and spilled out the fluid. then submerged it again.
