So im trying to remove the throotle body, intake manifold, emission equipment...I just bought a t2 motor and while its out i want to clean the fuel injectors, get new gaskets, decide if im gonna keep emissions, new hoses, and some mods. So im trying to get off the bracket thats infront of the throttle body, the fsm calls it the dynamic chamber bracket. doesnt make much sense because the dynamic chamber is on the other side of the motor but whatever. so ive got all the bolts off but one damn bolt is a bastard. This is the bolt thats blocked by the intake to throttle body thingy, but that wont come off cause the damn bracket is holding it there. ive tried going underneath the rats nest with a open ended and the camn bolt is on so good the open end will just strip it. Does anyone know the secret method of getting this pain in the *** bolt out..... thanks guys, im sure theres some easy way that im missing

 

there's 2 10mm bolts that hold that air bypass solenoid to the UIM that is blocking the support bolt, remove it...

 

alirght nevermind i was able to wedge the one piece out, damn if anyone knows a trick to that. im thinking how about i just dont put it back on, and go front mount..

 

im not talking aout the air bypass im talking about the bracket that holds on the top mount, stupid bracket

 

ahh ok, yea that one is a pain in the ***, word of advice is to leave the nut off or leave it loose when you reassemble it.

 

It's easy with the right tool.
A 12mm 12-point box end wrench will just fit in there and make a 60 degree swing.
After 2 or 3 swings, the UIM will lift up off the slotted bracket.
