I received my 710N valves and associated clamps today from Clairparts. I was looking at how the stock BPV hoses are secured and it looks like the clamp is in that recessed area of the BPV. How did you get the end nippers in there to crimp the clamps down. I assume that if you take the boost sensor out of the way you may have more room but it still doesn't look like it will fit. Unless the end nippers I have is different than the ones you used.

valves. Then, use saliva on the vacuum hose to slip onto replaced valves. Use the needle nose to gently push on the original clamps and once you clear the bump on the valve nipple, you're home free. Completely stealth with a seal worthy of great vacuum.
