I know more than one person here has rebuilt a motor. So my question is how do you get the oil sprays off the rotor housing and intake to replace the metering lines without damaging the sprays?

Either a big socket, like a 19mm or so, or a shaved down 14mm wrench.

Thanks at first i was going to try to use a pair of plyers and a rag around the spray. But i thought that would damage the spray.
