Undoing a connection at the KLR port on the intake, I notice that the part in the intake spins. Leave it or do something about it? Note: if you select option 2, please suggest what should be done ...and how
Yeah, that flat part is more flush on bottom and not much to grab on top. I suppose I can put a bolt in and pull that out. Wonder if there’s a seal in behind though, making that unneccessary...
Agree it needs repair. Dirt entrance and Vac leak spot. I need to fix mine. Have not come up with a plan until I see what the piece looks like removed.

you can just screw it out - take some sealant and glue it back in - thats it...
What kind of sealant?
I like the wheel in your thumbnail! I have the BBS RS.. they were fitted as a dealer option when the car was purchased. However, they are pretty worn out. Wish I could refinish them all shiny like yours.....
In the interest of science, I pulled one out of a spare manifold and can confirm it's threaded in the intake with 14 x 1.5 threads, with no signs of sealant from the factory. So if the threads are stripped, I suppose you could helicoil it back to 14 x 1.5 rather than use JB Weld, although drilling for helicoils will create metal shavings, so I dunno. If the threads are still good, you can probably just tighten it with a 13mm open end wrench and be done with it, or maybe use some red or blue loctite if it seems to keep coming loose.
