Did you remove the hose clamp up off where it clamps? Lol

I did, but it looks like hose is sealed.

Make sure the clamp is far up enough the tube.

After that, use a small flathead screw driver to pry the tip of the hose away from tube. I had similar trouble when I had to remove that hose. It kinda becomes glued so you need something to loosen it so you can then twist it and pry it off.

It’s not, it’s just difficult to remove. You have 2 options:
1) just slice the tube with a razor blade since it’s not going to be reused
Or
2) use a pick set and work your way around the hose since it’s just a stuck from being clamped down

So I took a car for a quick spin to warm up engine bay and then it was easy to remove since rubber hose expanded.
Now I have another issue. After I installed catch can OUT hose is actually rubbing against another hose... Any recommendations?

@DmK are you using the hoses supplied with the Mishimoto Oil Catch Can kit?

yes

yes

You won’t have any issues, it’s fine for the hoses to touch

 

[blitz]

yes

Ok cool.

I have a Type R and thought the oil catch can kits were the same for the 2.0L and 1.5L engines.
