You’re welcome! Won’t be able to work on the car again until Sat at the earliest. More to come then.

Nice Pix and narrative to educate forum members on removal options with optional tools.

I used two small flat head screw drivers to release those clips. Then put a new plstic hose on - i saved me the time of having to clean the old one.

Thanks Ciao. I finished the AOS replacement today with no problems. Only additional tools I used were a 90 degree pick to loosen the hose that attaches to the ‘funnel’ on the bottom of the AOS and my flexible extension led light/magnet/grabber to grab and reinsert the two AOS torx screws.

The AOS from Sunset is a newer revision than the one I removed (new is .01 vs old at .00):

Hopefully that’s the last time I deal with the AOS for the foreseeable future. Already on to the 2nd gear detent replacement and brake pads/rotors replacement.
