fpd removal/replacement
 

okay guys, im desparate. i need to have this car fixed by tonight or its getting kicked out of my parents garage and ill have to work outside :/. ive removed the upper intake manifold, the rats nest, and the acv. now how do you take the damn fpd out? the harness is in my way and its not budging much.. ive disconnected quite a few things and even broken a few latches on some connectors. are those screws i see? how the hell are you supposed to access those with a screwdriver? ive even tried fitting my phillips socket in there and it wont fit.. wtf do i need to take out? im gonna head back out there and see what i can do then come back and check for responses, ill take some pictures too. thanks a million times in advance to whoever responds with some help.

hm.. nobodys ever done this before huh?

hm thanks a lot for searching for me mahjik i had come up with much less than that. but i dont think anyone really answered his question in the thread :/

update: ive got one screw off, the other one is proving a bit more difficult to reach but i talked to the guy at my hardware store he says he'll bring something in tomorrow thatll help me out. once ive finished the replacement ill post an answer to my own question.

I used a philips tool from a socket driver set, then used a small boxed end wrench on the philips tool. This was the only way I could apply enough force pushing in on the philips bit while turning.

I used one of these little buggers when i had to replace mine. http://www.sears.com/sr/javasr/produ...&vertical=TOOL
