need some tips and tricks! Hey everyone I got a quick question about the LS1 throttle body. As of recently i've been getting the itch to port my tb myself so tonight i started to. About 10 minutes ago i was able to get all the bolts out, disconect the battery and all the other electronic intake plug ins. Where im having trouble are in these damn rubber tubes or piping i guess you would call it. My question is, is there any easy way to get these off because the clamps on mine are all rusted to **** and i've tried getting a small flat head under the rubber but after prying on them it looked like it was going to crack. Any suggestions? Ive been trying everything I can think of and no luck so far.Ill post up pics shortly.

Well unfortunately I don't have a hose pick but do you think if i keep spraying them with WD40 and keep prying on them with an extremly small flat head ill be able to get them off? I've never seen rubber hoses so tight.lol its frustrating it ended up turning a 10 minute thing tops into a long sprawled out process.
