Defeated by water pump replacement - again..... Posted by MI-Roger [Email] ![]() ![]() |
OK, this time it is the band clamp securing the turbo inlet pipe to the turbo-charger. The screw securing this clamp is located at the 3 o'clock position, fully hoizontal, closest to the engine, screw head up.
If it was at the 2 o'clock position I could easily get the torx bit into the screw on the end of an extension. At the 3 o'clock position I can't get anything in there, and it looks as if the exhaust manifold will have to come off since it is above the screw and blocking access.
What tricks have others used to remove this?
Oh yeah, I also broke the terminal block off the Boost Control Valve whle dismantling parts off the engine. Another $60 plus shipping for a new one. I could not get the boot protecting the locking mechanism to come loose, even though I have had it off before! Not too smart to work on a 40 degree engine, all the plastic and rubber bits are stiff as a board.
Thanks.
