I need some quick advice please, I just got my coils in the mail and tried to install them. At first all I did first was try to unscrew the 10mm bolts on the coils with a screwdriver like wrench but like my cat bolts they are tight and pretty rusty so I couldn't get them off. Now, to get them off I'd have to take off the intake and try to muscle them off, or I can go to a shop and have them do it. Is it difficult to take off the air intake box and everything? I'm kind of clueless as to how to do so.

 

'laze: definitely post pic's of the setup when you get a chance.

 

its absolutely simple...just rock the intake box back and forth and it should unclip and you'll be able to pull it out.

^same procedure

it really can't get any easier...

 

if you're having to 'muscle' ignition coils out, you're doing it wrong.
how the heck did those bolts rust? why is there that much water getting in the engine bay?

 

you don't have to unscrew the box? I'm confused =[

 

BJ loosen the screw that is on the accordion tube of the intake so you can push the airbox back. undo the harness that is attached to the MAF. The pull up on the two tabs that connect to the engine cover. then push it back into the accordion tube so that it clears the front of the engine bay and pulls out making sure that you disconnect any other ***** that may be attached to it

 

The 10mm bolts are pretty damn tight.

 

once you get the intake out they are easy

 

that's what she said

 

i think that would be bad if it unclippped!

:smh:

don't need no JRs

Heard that one before you were born.

 

how the hell do you get the intake off holly hell

 

BJ; why don't you check out the DIY or even youtube.

it's really easy to do...




AL: really? I just saw that on some vette forum i was on...i have yet to understand how i even ended up on their forum tho...




Kingsfan: Shock G would rock humpty hands down.

 

Because the DIY doesn't show you how to take off the air intake and there are no videos on youtube?

 

BJ; check FSM
it's available online.

 

what part of the intake removal are you stuck on? it's pretty basic.
do you have the maf disconnected and the accordian tube out?

 

I can't get the accordion tube out

 

you loosened the screws?
