rodney 17 Posted September 12, 2009 Report Share Posted September 12, 2009 I dont recall a guide... and it been a while since i even looked in that area.... however,,,Assuming its a standard one you have and you are talking about the silver mushroom affair - you have two options. Whip all the front off the car... including the radiator.... OrGet it up in the air and attack it from below. You will notice there is not a lot of room. No matter what you do. there is a plastic tube that runs across the front of the engine that all the pipes all connect in to. Dont look at it or talk to it with the wrong tone. It will insist on breaking so stay away...hopefully someone should pop up soon who has done it more recently... Link to post Share on other sites
Caddyslammed 16 Posted September 12, 2009 Report Share Posted September 12, 2009 I managed to do mine from below with the car on axle stands (my memory is terrible, Jack Daniels abuse when i was younger i put it down too!), it was quite easy, big socket, cant remember the size, minimal oil loss, (this was about 5 years ago!), i just remember being told when tightening it back up, just to pinch it, dont overtighten!, i must have had an old thread on here at that time about it, will have a look.
