Yep...lots of people break one the first time they pull the intake.
I did.

It is the brake booster line that does it....so watch out for it next time.

I'll be removing mine soon. Is there a trick to avoiding this?

Try leaving the booster line off until everything is bolted down, then put the hose on.

Have someone put their hand on the brake booster line and guide it over the oil sending unit, while you pull it Up & forward.
