Title: Re: Emission Removal Kit Post by: Goat_Herder on April 23, 2009, 05:50:26 PM I was being sarcastic. I think I spent $5 when I took mine out.
Title: Re: Emission Removal Kit Post by: NAKID on April 23, 2009, 05:55:36 PM I know. But there are too many people who have bought kits like this from TPO when they could have done it for pocket change...

But there are too many people who have bought kits like this from TPO when they could have done it for pocket change... or less with a good collection of spare bolts and a little patience ;) Title: Re: Emission Removal Kit Post by: NAKID on April 23, 2009, 07:13:31 PM I used the existing hose from the canister, a "y" connector from Checker Auto Parts, and 2 vacuum caps. It was somewhere in the neighborhood of $3...
Title: Re: Emission Removal Kit Post by: Mash on April 23, 2009, 09:34:01 PM I used the existing hose from the canister, a "y" connector from Checker Auto Parts, and 2 vacuum caps. It was somewhere in the neighborhood of $3... I got the vacuum caps from NAPA. My caps are showing signs of drying out and cracking lately. they've only been on there for ~2k miles. Keep forgetting to stop by there and get replacements. Title: Re: Emission Removal Kit Post by: gearhead on April 23, 2009, 09:42:35 PM I simply replaced the spigots with bolts and yanked everything out. Cost= 20 cents
Title: Re: Emission Removal Kit Post by: Goat_Herder on April 23, 2009, 09:49:54 PM 2 bolts from Home Depot: $2
liquid gasket seal: $3 DIY: Priceles! Title: Re: Emission Removal Kit Post by: flanman on April 24, 2009, 04:52:54 PM I think I am going to be taking a trip to home depot soon.
Title: Re: Emission Removal Kit Post by: Holden on April 24, 2009, 04:57:39 PM 2 bolts from Home Depot: $2 696 just takes two rubber vacuum nipple caps. that's it. box of a dozen cost somewhere in the neighborhood of 50ยข... sure it takes all that? [cheeky]liquid gasket seal: $3 DIY: Priceles! Title: Re: Emission Removal Kit Post by: flanman on April 26, 2009, 11:19:21 AM Okay so I have everything off. The M5 bolts I have (smallest ones I could find) still are way longer than the end of the nipple that screwed in... Could I space it out with a washer of sorts or should i go find the smaller ones. Or is it fine that they go in further? Thanks for the help.

I also applied liquid gasket to the bolt to seal it. Title: Re: Emission Removal Kit Post by: flanman on April 26, 2009, 05:17:53 PM Alright great. I picked up some smaller ones and have some high temp gasket stuff. Very easy and simple mod it's a wonder anyone would spend that money for the TPO kit.
