 |
|
Hi all.
It looks like this part is "permanently" in position and will crack when removed but....
Can one remove it w/o damaging it?
Am doing this with engine installed. (need easier access to plenum mount bolt).
Assuming it cracks, what are chances of material falling into clutch housing?
Thanks
Neil.

For sure.
I'd like to leave it with wire as I like the "original" look (this being a relatively low mileage rig, want to preserve) but all it'll do is confuse the next owner.
That darn thing though is in the way of plenum bracket nut; the only reason I took it out.
