i dont know what the tube does or its name but on the passenger side of my 90 5.0 a metal tube comes from the firewall and bends straight down then bends back toward the radiator it is sitting right on the header. i tried to pull on it but dont want to do something regretable so i want to know how i seperate it and bend it so it wont touch the header anymore. any ideas on tools which i could use ?? please help?!?

A/C line? Use a pipe bender!

If it is the a/c condencer line it should have some black insulation on it. And if I remember right there are some plastic clips that hold it to the fender well. They might be broken? [patriot]

I think your talkin about a smog tube.. its connected to the block i think.. shouldnt be a big deal to just put a pry bar in there and get it off the header..
