But if you have an M44 you should replace both if you are going to do it.
Mohaughn, I just recently had the longer one break. The nipple sticking straight up completely broke off at the bottom ridge. As well as the Y shaped one broke off in the same manor nearly a year ago.

The upper intake manifold had to be removed to get to the the long one.

The Y shaped piece can be got to from the bottom of the car, but its pretty much working blind as theres not much room back there to see what your hand is doing.
