i have rounded off a hex bolt on the small inlet manifold (underneath of course ::))
how do you guys get em out? i cant get a blow torch in there accurately, so what are these easy out things? is this my best bet?
-
What engine Mark? 8 or 16v?
Try a spline or torx bit.
If you can wait till tomorrow then i might be able to pop round in the afternoon and have a look.
Let me know :-*
-
Oh yeah, you could try banging a socket over the top of the bolt.
-
i traded in the 16v and got an 8v ;)
i might try the socket cos i got a few old ones i dont mind mangling :D
whats a torx bit?
cheers
-
oh and the injectors should just pull out?
-
Tx is like a little star shaped tool.... Very handy to have :)
-
oh and the injectors should just pull out?
From the back of the engine block, yes... Be careful of the back of your hand bangin the bodywork tho ;)
-
oh i got some of those :D
what do you do use the size up and bang it in?
p.s. i was joking about 8v mk1_boy its 16v with injectors going in at the front
-
Oh yeah, and I usually get the mole grips out if I round a bolt off... ;)
-
oh i got some of those :D
what do you do use the size up and bang it in?
Any one that gets a nice grip in there, depends how rounded it is ???
-
got it out with a tx bit
cheers boys :D
-
No worries mate, happy tinkering ;)
-
tinker tinker ;D
-
Why do you want to remove the injectors?
I thought you were just removing the top half of the inlet manifold so you can remove the cam cover.
-
im gonna paint the inlet manifold at the same time, might as well do the bottom bit too :D
