Hiya, i'm curious has anyone pulled and installed a intake manifold on an aveo (mine is 2006) What are your tricks in pulling it off and putting it back on? I looked at the bolts the bottom are easy but how about the top? they look hard to get at without univeral joints and extensions. How do i get a torque wrench on the top bolts Thank you for any info
you need extensions, etc. to do it. You can use a torque wrench with an extension, but (forget exactly) add 5 lbs per liner foot?
Ok on the top intake manifold bolts is there a way to get at them without a universal joint? i see them and it looks like no room to get at them without using a universal joint?Quote:

i dont have your engine to tell you exactly how to do it step by step, but 99.9% of the time there is a direct route cast into the manifold. Just finding it and getting to it easily are hard.
ok, I looked the manifold over and over and just found another way. removing the fuel rail and the bolts can be access from the top. Now doing that would i have to replace bottom fuel injector grommets? or could they be re-used?Quote:

Thanx ahead of time
the sentra in 96 was an $11500 car for the base model
10 years later the aveo base model was $9400..
you get what you pay for :-P
Yappers, I paid 16,5k for mine i think i paid too much. But i'm getting alot of experience in auto work out of it so i'm loving it in that sense.
why are you taking off the intake manifold anyways lol?
gotta a vacuum leak in the manifold gasket
