Yessir...sucked up, sir. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />
Thanks for the help...I'm goin' in.


Sorry to be blunt. I know how bad it is. Only gets worse with turbo equipment on top of it.

Clean the threads with a wirewheel so it will go back in with your fingers when you reassemble, and consider using a holesaw to cut a hole in the firewall maybe?


If only I owned one of those. I just came back upstairs (apartment dweller) to warm up a bit--I can't for the life of me figure out how to get at that top bolt. Even with the air cleaner out of the way, hoses and whatnot prevent direct access to the bolt head. My ratchet with the jointed head is too large to fit between the bolt head and firewall, and I can't get any leverage using a box-end wrench--plus, there's no room for a cheater bar.

The bottom bolt was a toughy--I had to pry it loose using a breaker bar before I could hit it with the ratchet. And of COURSE the bolt ran away and hid.

I'm *almost* ready to push-start the Raider and drop it at a shop. Kills me to do that, though.

I used to drive a full-size Jeep (Grand Wagoneer), so I have some experience wrenching. This little thing has me stumped, though.
