at the back of the intake manifold (which i've taken off the engine block) there is this white sensor, it's screwed onto the intake manifold and i cant get the damn thing off..
i cant use a socket wrench coz it's a screw
i've used a crap load of degreaser and the biach wont come off..!
i wanna clean my IM abit, hose it down and such so i wanna remove all the electricals/sensors...
....or...do i need to remove that if i want to hose it down? i'm guessing i would
id use an impact hammer,
is it the IAT sensor your talking about ???
not 100% sure which one it is
it's the only white sensor on the back of the IM
whats an impact hammer do?
i've heard of impact gun but not hammer
its a handheld device that has a 3/8 head on it, you put a phillips head drive socket on it, put this thing on the screw, and hit it with a hammer, it will give a sudden twist as you hit it, cracking the screw
supa cheap sell them for about $30,
I got a really good one, works a bit better than a cheep one, but unless you use it as much as I use to, juct get a cheep ass one, or even better borrow one if you can.
i've got an electric drill (not the weak cordless one)
would that do the same thing?
nope
ill take a photo of one for you
ok thanks...
any chance of me being able to give it a spray down without removing that?
shoud be ok,
hehe
"should" kinda scares me....
hmm, yeh i'll try get it off otherwise might just cover it on the top somehow...

you hit the end with a hammer
ahh ok, do, how do these work better than normal screw drivers?
looks like the same white plug but diff. location
it will create a twisting sensation on the head as you hit it with a hammer, it has a internal mechanism that does this,
I can crack a head bolt with type of one. ( snap on )
Yeah, they are possibly the greatest tool ever invented for getting old shitty screws out without rounding the inside. Great for injectors!
hope it works on mine, i kinda ripped the thread on the screw a bit
this tool is an animal,
I use it whwn I get rounded heads in screw, works a treat, save lots if time. worth every penny IMO
THESE THINGS ARE FREAKING GOD SENT!!!Quote:
