Is there an easy way to remove that damn thing? I have the Alt off the engine lift thingy off and I removed one of the bolts on the Alt. bracket and still nothing. I only see one bolt for that damn thing on the bottom. I know there has to be one on top

Has anyone else had this problem? I'm about 30 seconds from taking my dremel to it.

It looks like I have to take out the oil filter neck and the coil pack. I don't really want to do that though.

 

No no no...what you do is this...u are right with taking off the alt...keep tension on the belt...then there is one screw on the bottom underneath the belts by alt...now u need to take the support/ adjuster for the alt off...then the oil fil neck needs to be loosened..its pretty easy...take off the elbow then u will see one bolt right underneath the elbow by the throttle...and one underneath the oilfil neck...once u have that loosened u can get to the bolt that holds the vacuum chamber on...after that its just small hands that get into that bolt and work patiently...ive done it like 4 times now to fix lil diff things...its not too bad

 

Where is your FSM?

 

well if u dont have one here is some help www.iluvmyrx7.com just incase...

 

This bolt on the bottom?



And it looks like to need to remove a bolt under the filler neck?

 

I thought this was a place to ask questions? Guess not

Thanks Twisted7 for the help.

 

yeah the bolt on the bottom if in ur first pic u look at the vacuum chamber u can see a bolt holding it on...unscrew that...ull need an extension...u will have to take the filler neck bolts out just the ones under the filler neck...its easy and then ur set be sure to remove the alt tensioner where the bolt can slide up and down

 

Well, it's easier to understand answers to questions if you have something to look at, for me anyway.

 

come one hdp u should know ur car like the back of ur hand...lol...nah its just fresh on my memory so it made it easy...but pictures do help a lot along with the person askin questions knowing what the hell they are talking about
