Another Q, sorry!!!

[chris1972]

I've got the plenum etc off, but how do I remove the trumpet base? I've unbolted it all and disconnected the fuel pipes, but it appears to have been siliconed to the manifold. Any ideas?

Hyde mallet

tap it up from the under side as its also on pins

If you have taken out the allen bolts, then its just silicon so abit of brute force

Don`t forget to stick some rag down each inlet ,you don`t want to drop anything down there .!

Okay, cheers for that! Manifold will be coming out anyway as I'm going to do the valley gasket at the same time. Expect a few more questions!

[chris1972]

Sorted. A quick tap with a wooden block and a mallet and it came away without a problem. What do you use to put it back though, something like Sikaflex?

A thin smear of Hylomar blue.

Excellent, thanks for that. I'd better order another tube of that stuff.
