I was taking off the uim and I got to the bolt on the firewall side of the engine, the one that has the 2 engine grounds and the loop. That bolt is rounded, so how would I go about getting it off?

Vise Grips, anyone?

Fan Mod for president, Vice Grips for vice president!

Yeah mine were hard to get off too. They seem to get rusty.

Iw as thinking, is anything else attached to that bolt other then the grounds?

If not, then I could just undo the one ground on the fire wall side of it, then cut the other ground. That would let me get the UIM off, then whiel its off I cuold solder the cut ground back together. But, if there are other things attached to this as well, then my plans are foiled!

Damn, I lost my vise grips

Yea I would snip that ground, then pull UIM off and get those bolts outta there, you could just solder'em back together later...Thats all that ground is it just runs right down to the rotor housing underneath.

Put a decent ground wire on there after You cut that one.

ok got the UIM off, and pulled off everythig to get it polished. How do I get the studs out, the ones that hold on the AWS solenoid and all those doohikies

ok got the UIM off, and pulled off everythig to get it polished. How do I get the studs out? The ones that hold on all the stuff attached to the underside of the UIM.

Also, could someone tell me exactly what everything is thats attached to there? liek theres the double throttle actuator, then theres some sort of snesor in the bottom, then some things that eltrical connectors are connected too.

Vice grip once again.
Well I got mine off with a plier and some elbow grease.
The ones one the LIM are a PITA!!!

There is an air intake theremo sensor on the bottom of the UIM. Just twist and unbolt the sensor off.
