Finally got last bolt of inlet(hammer and chisel)

Doesn't seem to be able to come off studs as bulkhead in the way?


So anyone remove inlet from an xe with t still in the corsa bay?

Had quick look but so dark can't see and don't want to loose plugs etc without seeing what they come off

Have you undone the brace that holds it on to the block?

Yeah it will come out, but it takes some fighting.

If you look from underneath the car you will see a metal brace holding the bottom of the inlet, you might not have one there as my old engine didn't but the one I have now does. Will try and get a pic for you if you want

Brace goes from the bottom of the inlet to the block, get underneatch and look at the back of the engine and you'll see it.
