Right im now ready to fit my throttle bodies, but taking the lower inlet off is something i have never done....

I have changed my upper inlet to a Vx powerbox, is removing the lower inlet a bit of a ballache and where would i start??

I cant find any guides anywhere so i just want to be sure with what im facing

Any help will be greatly appreciated

And that would be a good idea because......

I haven't attempted it yet, what would be the point in that??

Thinking before you open your gob would be a good start

Funilly enough because they are the items that are physically holding the inlet to the head.

But if you want to be pendantic you could start by opening the bonnet and finding some tools.

dare i say it you disconnect all the sensors, plugs etc that go to the inlet, grab a ratchet spanner and you undo all of the bolts, thats all there is to it

Davey for Moderator?? I thought not

Maybe you could open your asshole and pull your head out of it instead of being a sarcy prick

What did you expect? You are asking how to start removing something that is held on with nuts and bolts?? Its all fairly obvious upon observation.

13mm socket and a long extension bar, once you have removed the upper inlet it's fairly straight forward just need patience and your back will start to hurt.

undo all the bolts on the top and bottom, give it a pull, if it doesnt come off, start swearing and looking for stuff you have missed
