[QUOTE="Lugnut, post: 29489, member: 6091"] UPDATE: I saw a YouTube video of the installation of that clip. All is good. Hi all, I need some of your expertise. I have a 2018 1.5L Ecotec. Cleaned the throttle body and reinstalled with a new gasket. Torqued bolts to 89 in-lbs. Installed large air tube but before I screw this up, I have 2 questions about the metal clip and plastic retainers. I know the clip goes on with the end prongs sticking up and the plastic retainers snapped in under the metal clip. Here's my 2 questions about reinstalling this clip: 1. Since the plastic retainers have a tendency to fall off, is there a trick to keeping them in place, e.g., small blob of grease, chewing gum, zip ties, or maybe something else not so ridiculous. 2. Does the clip just snap on by getting pushed in on the large air tube. How should it be reinstalled? Thank you for any help. [/QUOTE]
