Inlet service holes removed

[sandman1111]

Hello

How do you guys install/remove the inlet manifold, when the manifold service holes have been removed. I´m thinking of doing it, but I´m afraid I can never fit it back.

Thanks

I have never used the service holes as i don't own a tool that fits, all you need is a 1/4" socket set.

It looks impossible, but I guess I have to practice without using the holes. Got AAN inlet modified for 4 cylinder.

Use a ball end Alen key to get at the inaccessible bolts. It's a case of moving some of the bolts one flat at a time and being patient.

I don't have any service holes any more...















I'm just hoping I never have to remove it!

Did you install it? You know you have to do it first

I have an S2 manifold with the channels removed.
I use a ball end and a long wobble extension for the bottom bolts and a hex key with a cheater bar on the top. 1/4" drive set will not work on the ends due to the fuel rail mounts.
If you use a ball end on those top bolts, make sure to keep replacements on hand. They will survive being removed only once.
