Hey Bo,

Taking them out is not really an option without damaging the 'bearings' as they are melted into position.
I have yet to find out how the sealing works on the input shaft (where the lever plate is attached) but I expect to find a very thick (maybe square) o-ring in a groove in the plastic so it will probably seal pretty well even though the play is quite excessive compared to a new one indeed.

I would advice when assembling it again to use a non setting sealant so in the future it will be easy to open again.

Now that the manifold is off it pays to renew the seal between the oil filter housing and the block.

Subscribe to this thread because in the future I will notify on here when my PCV delete kit is done so no more contaminating and deteriorating vapors into this relatively weak assembly, and when my repair kit is done for people with broken flaps.
