I was looking to fix a valve cover leak on my wifes SRT6, and I got as far as getting the air box pulled from the engine. Is there a trick to getting the rubber boot off that goes between the air box and the y pipe? It's factory clamped on on the air box side, and where it slips over the y pipe it almost appears to be glued. It might just be old, but I don't want to be buying a new one either.

 

Got it done.

 

How?
I left mine all in one piece.

 

I ended up just leaving it in one piece. I saw that more than a few people had broken the breather bolts of of the valve cove. Those don't need to be too tigh. I believe they are just there to hold it on when being assembled , as the valve cover bolts hold it down. I did end up just putting a very thin skim of rtv on the valve cover gasket where it contacts the head. I've resealed countless "ribbed" valve cover gaskets and I've found they're the worst.
