hks dump valve question relating to HDI intercooler

[Kev]

Whilst fitting my HDI Intercooler kit, I have ran into a problem with the HKS dump valve I have.

Now I've purchased this bit of hosing for the dump valve below:

However when coming to fit it, I ran into this problem

The dump valve won't sit correctly due to the bit circled.

Do I just need a different bit of hosing or another type of dump valve? I've tried removing the bottom bit, but it just keeps turning.

thanks for any help

Ok, I have tried removing it.

Any tips for getting it off?

Circlip pliers fella or you'll struggle

As above, i was trying forever to get it off without Circlip pliers

cheers, looks like I'm heading off to buy some circlip pliers and now I need the adapter, looks like my car is off the road for a few days.

get some big beefy ones with big handles, might be easier if you get someone else with a flat screw driver levering it up and working there way round while you squeeze like made on the circlip.

There appears to be two types of adapters 1 @ 29mm and 1 @ 34mm, does anyone know which one I need?

Is there anything suitable I can use to block off the dump valve opening on the intercooler pipe while I wait for the part to arrive?

Another issue I have to resolve is my air filter relocated in front of the drivers side wheel, so I'm not sure I can finish everything yet anyway.

thanks for the advice and help guys.
