I'm following the working instructions for removing the plenum, (very good by the way ! much better than haynes !!) I have removed the pin but can't separate the ball joint, I have cruise so dont want to put too much force on the plastic connector, tried 2 screw diver technique but cant get enough purchase, tried levering off the linkage but it started to bend so stopped anybody got any suggestions ? >:( :) :-[
-
Not sure if its like the 2.0 one, but in that case, there's a little stainless clip around the back of the balljoint - unclip it, rotate away and then pull out the pin section back int he direction of the cable, at which point it should fall off so use some pliers!
-
Thats what I was expecting to happen, pulled the pin out but the joint's still holding firm ! :-[
-
If the throttle cable won't come away from the plenum, just ondo the plenum and move it to one side.
-
They can sometimes be a bit of a fight. Usually rotating it off upwards overcomes it, if necessary levering the throttle bit back with a screwdriver to prevent it bending
-
After much swearing I got a torch it would seem a previous owner managed to break a pin and rotate it internally such that a new pin could be fitted, so I unbolted the butterfly from the plenum and moved it to one side ( as some one has suggested I'll have to clean this in situ thanks for the help though everyone
