I know there must be an easy way to remove this neck that either screws in or something else.I tried everthing to remove this from the valve cover on my 1999 Trans Am.Its where you remove the cap to put oil into motor and its the neck that the cap screws onto.I would like to get a billet one but I cant figure out how to remove this thing.Probably a lot easier than than it looks.Most screw off.Thanks

Take the oil fill cap off, then twist the neck like u unsrewed the cap. Comes out in 2 sec.

it's locked in from the inside of the valve cover. you can turn it really hard, and it will come off - however it might mess it up permanently

If you turn it hard it will break the tab on the inside, then you may have plastic fall into you crankcase. Remove the valve cover and release the tab with a small screwdriver and it will twist right out.

Never did that to mine. They twist off really easily. Same as 3.8 supercharged buicks. I've had mine off, nothing broken or anything. I will have to take it off my car again and check it out. I just had it off a week ago before the snow storm. Never seen one where you need to remove the valve cover. But if it is really tight, do what others said and be safe and remove the cover. Not worth the damage. But it should come off easy
