Intake Manifold install....

[IERedLine]

So like mentioned in the previous threads.. We got the Supercharger off, and the bolts to remove the intake manifold off as well.. But there is one bolt that is underneat, and almost impossible to get to. Im wondering if there any techs, or someone who done an Intake manifold swap before could chime in, and let me know how to get to the bolt..

Not really.. The bolt in question was underneath the manifold itself, it required removal of the alternator, which was way to easy.. I got the whole manifold off and then reinstalled, only to be beaten for the day by the belt falling off the crank pulley, and it got to dark to finish, I should be able to get it all done tomorrow.. Thanks for the info though... Oh anyone know the easiest way to get the belt back around all the pulleys...please let me know, it seems impossible....

Ever fish before? It's THAT simple...loop the belt, and slide it over the crank pulley, after that hold it tight and weave around the rest of the pulleys.
The first time you do it, you're gonna need both hands and someone else to shine a light down there so you can CLEARLY see what you're doing...it gets easier and easier each time after that.

It's not too hard if you have two people, one under the car and one over it...

Yea im sure it will be easy enough to do tomorrow.. Im sure I need to get something off from underneath the car to get it done.. I'll figure it out.. She should be up and running by tomorrow after lunch.. Lets just hope it fixes my problem....

The easiest way to change the belt is to take off the passenger front tire and there is a small square that you can take out of the wheel well right next to the crank.

I didn't take a THING off the car - tires stayed on, bottom stayed intact...like I said, it was like fishing. Loop the thing around the crank pulley and it's cake from there.

Call me later if you want, I'll walk you through it. I'm a big fan of "work smarter, not harder" - hence, the LESS I gotta take off the car to get something done, the better!
