NEED HELP NOW removing ACV
I'm trying to replace my injectors and the ACV is in the way and I cant remove it. I looked at the manual and all I saw was two bolts. I took off the two bolts but the damn thing is not coming off. I already broke a screw driver trying to pry it off and I don't wanna hit it hard and break anything. Is there another screw holding it down , maybe i miss something? I have the car in the garage and i've been trying to remove it for an hour now.

The one at the bottom is the bitch...use a 1/4" drive with a 2" extension. Use a flashlight to see where the nut is first so that you can find it easier...
To reinstall, use the same ratchet and extension, but this time use a peice of paper in the socket to hold the nut on.

ok got the thing off. I messed up the seal so I have to replace it. I'll call the dealer tomorrow. can' wait to get the rats nest off so I can replace the injectors. I know i'm gonna have a hard time returning those vacuum lines. When I finish at least i know the job is done right. I already saw a few hose that are cut. Maybe that expalins my turbo lagging.
