    intake manifold -gay death spring thing

    i dunno wtf you call it, but that thing on the spring, someone give me some ideas on how to get that fucker compressed so that i can get the manifold off. I can't really get my hands in there to reach it, do i have to remove all that shit infront of it, or is there a "trick"

    Its really not that bad....

    Push it down hard and it should stay down long enough to get the manifold off.

          If you're handy with a saw, take some wood and make a wedge. That way, you can get some leverage on it. When you're putting the spring back on, take some wire and compress the spring and tie it while its compressed. Then, put it in its place, and when you're ready to have it spring up, cut the wires! That's what my Dad and I did.
          Me: "I can't wait to redline my car!"
          Mark: "Didn't you just break a rocker arm?"
          Me: "Yeah, I don't think I've learned my lesson."
          Mark: "You never will."
