ausubaru92 Posted April 23, 2006 Share Posted April 23, 2006 I have a motor that i bought. the guy before me tried to remove the intake and he broke 2 of the bolts. Now that i have it, i cant remove the intake. There are only 6 bolts right? Any suggestions welcome Thanks in advance Gannon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
manxsta Posted April 23, 2006 Share Posted April 23, 2006 Hi , basically the only way your will have any chance of removing it is to pump the bolts and holes full of wd 40 or penetrating oil , let it soak and then pry it up with a lever between the intake and the engine(with care but you will need to use some force to start it moving....once it moves up a little,use more wd..and send it back down to the head..and repaet this until it eventually comes free..heat may be of some help alternativly..but i would opt against this method,patience will be your key..corrosion sucks..cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
85Sub4WD Posted April 23, 2006 Share Posted April 23, 2006 did you disconnect the EGR tube (stupid question) - that will hold you up if you didnt - after that - prybar & WD-40 to the rescue Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ausubaru92 Posted April 24, 2006 Author Share Posted April 24, 2006 There is no such thing as a stupid question,.. but yes i did remove the EGR. As far as penetrating fluid goes, ive been told to find an alternative to wd40,.. PB Blaster? INOX? any others Thanks Guys Gannon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
