Take off the plastic and sponge and then move from side to side. You could use a pair of pliers on the flat section for leverage. I thought you drilled yours?

I removed mine in 2010 and replaced with a "bung" - never ever noticed any difference over 3-years, no oil leks and no "hassle" from MSA Scrutineers.

Some said "Scrutineers" from the Cheltenham area sought to get all V8-owners (TVRs/Morgan etc) to have a pipe from the Rocker Breather to a catch-tank incase the 1 Thou of an inch breather hole "leaked" oil all over the track and IAC with Blue Book and non-sealed breathing?

Do what you "think" works for you, IMVHO 8-))

A slight tap with a block of wood sorted it ! stuck it in the freezer for an hour ,may or may not of made a difference .

I marked it with some masking tape ,did not want it to go in to far ..Thanks for that . cool
