Does anyone know where the write up on this is. Saw some pics and a couple threads talking about this job, but the whole step by step would be really helpful. I think Tourige did it. :help:
quick progress update: took off the coil pack and the two retainer nuts that hold the wiring harness underneath. Moved the harness just enough to get my little girly hands within reach of all three top manifold nuts. Time to soak with pb blastr.
Drop the subframe. Makes the install a BREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEZE.
IIRC. You use along extension and go behind the subframe with it....
A really good point. Behind the subframe, meaning between subframe and firewall. Going up from the otherside of the subframe does not give you enough of an angle at the top to work the socket over the stud. Managed to get the top middle and top pass side studs this way. Also got the o2 sensor off.
The EGR looks like its going to be a real pita though. How are you guys that have done this getting it off. Not really sure which fitting to loosen? The lower one at the cat or the upper fitting?
