It looks like I need to get this vacuum tank out so I can replace my metering oil pump wiring harness.

I can only see one bolt in the back of the tank, but I can't get to it because the oil filler neck is in the way.

How can I get this tank out with the least amount of disassembly?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Here's a link to the series of pics that led me up to this point:

There are two bolts that hold that tank in. One is on the front of the engine at the bottom of the tank, the other is over by the oil filler neck elbow.

I don't remember if you have to take the upper intake off to get to the oil filler neck but I'm thinking you do. I had all that crap off two different cars but I was doing a silicone hose job so everything came off anyway.

I think your going to have to bite the bullet and take the oil filler neck off, that means take off the upper intake too...

garfinkle told me that the upper intake does not need to be removed the oil neck is on with three bolts two are easy the one on the side may take along socket and minute to get to try before removing the intake .

 

I guess I'll try removing the oil filler neck for the upper bolt.

But: How hard will the lower bolt be?
