Hi, all

I am having trouble take the intake off, please advise.

Thanks

 

6 total, 4 total on outsides and 2 in the center. rx7doctor

 

Ok, Do I need elan(spell?) rench to take off the two in the center? Thanks man!

 

Four bolts. Two nuts. All 12mm unless some dorky mechanic lost one and replaced it with a typical 13mm aftermarket bolt (yuck). There are two bolts per end plate and one nut on each rotor housing. The intermediate has nothing. The bolts are easy enough to see and are mirror images of each other. The nuts are at the bottom of the manifold flange near the exhaust nuts. It's possible that you could mistake an exhaust nut for an intake nut. Just poke around down there with a 12mm socket and you'll be good. The exhaust nuts are 14mm, by the way.

 

You might need an Elaine wrench if some previous mechanic decided to replace the studs in the rotor housings for some reason. The studs are held in with a thread locker, so it's unlikely they've been replaced.

 

Sorry, did not catch lingo? Should not need anything special except extension. They are just a little tough to feel for. rx7doctor

 

Thank you all. I got it off.

 

By Jove, I think he's got it!

 

i think your refering to the MANLY WRENCH (allan)wrench
