I used my Mighty Vac hand pump but couldn't get the piece of vacuum hose in deep enough. I only got maybe 2-3 onces out. Any other suggestions? I guess I could find a more flexible hose but I'm not sure that would work as the hose I used was blocked by something(rotors, etc) inside the hole. No, I don't want to remove the front case.

Removing the front case is a breeze

 

Have any pic's?

 

Take off all the bolts holding the snout on. The only one that is a little tough is to get to, is one of the bottom one's. It's not bad once you get the socket in there. You need to remove the air intake tube, MAF, TB. etc...but it's a piece of cake. Once you start in, you won't need any instructions. Make sure all the bolts are out before you try to take the snout off. If it doesn't come off fairly easy, check for a missing bolt. Mine always breaks open with a slight tap of a piece of 1x3 and a rubber mallet. I use black rtv sealent around my snout...very lightly when I put it back together.

IMO, if you siphon most of the fluid out of the hole and refill so it just barely drips over...that's good enough. Most of it will be new then and that should be fine.
