Hey guys I had a weird leak dripping down the back of my engine. I feared it was a freeze plug in the back then i thought it was maybe the intake gaskets, so I rented a pressure tester and was relieved to find it was the stupid quick disconnect coolant connector on the rear of my intake manifold. Well I'm no longer relieved (still relieved I don't have to drop the trans for a freeze plug) because I can not get the thing out. It snapped flush and my easy outs and other similar tools just are digging pieces out. I believe I have it almost too the threads and now there isn't much meat to trap into the middle. I'm now thinking I have to pull the intake after all. The truck is a 94 454 k3500 crew cab. How do you get the wiring harness out of the tbi if I pull the intake? I suppose I could just set it off to the passenger side. Does anyone have any other tips tricks to remove the broken fitting before I remove the intake? Problem is on the big blocks of this Era the fitting is on the back passenger side of the intake as opposed to my small blocks where it's in the front. Sorry for the story book but any help would be appreciated.
