Try the same thing with the compressor to see if it expands enough to slip off.

irony, the air compressor worked like a charm!!! i dont have one at home, but used the one at work, blew that bad boy off nice and easy. Now im wondering if i had the right one on there the whole time! guess ill find out when i get home. But even if this was the one for the throttle side may be stretched out now. Anyways thanks for the tip...i highly recommend it!
