Just finished value check(the front for the first time thanks to the new picts and instructions). The 8mm deep socket for the front throttle body band screw was a huge gift. As was only having to disconnect the two pin connector on the R/R of the throttle body and pushing an intact throttle body out of the way. Removing cables scared me to death.
Got some minor editing suggestions for Redbirds addition to Katherine's post on these two critical items. I had to go to Chuck's clinic description to find out that the deep socket was an 8mm(had to buy one).
I also thought Chuck's clinic description of removing the throttle body 2 pin connector was clearer and more helpful.
Redbird, it's up to you but you might consider replacing these two items in your write up with Chuck's from his clinic. Here's what he wrote.
Only one ,two pin connector, needs to be undone to R/R of the throttle body.
We were able to move the throttle body out of the way without removing the cables away. Do Not twist the cables, gently turn the T-body out of the way.
A ? inch 8mm deep well socket and ratchet has enough room to get in and loosen the front T-Body boot clamp. My socket was 2in long. Would have been a better fit to cut a ? to 1/2inch off the socket. Will make me that tool for next time.
With Katherine's and Redbird's pictures and descriptions we have a very helpful. And of course, Chucks clinic work. Thanks to all.
