whats up guys im replace the coolant line the runs under the supercharger and im two parts away from get the supercharger off, im just having trouble with the two bolts on the egr valve i cant find the right size socket the fit the bolts in not rounding it out the bolts out. i tried a 8mm 7mm 7.5mm and non work, any advise? and i got the bolts on the egr tube alright btw..

 

Shoot ztecstr, I haven't a clue as to size. R U sure you were able to squarely place the socket on the bolts? Someone should be here soon with info. good luck.

 

Perform a search on the forum - there is a forum member that tackled this project and included pics - I remember the OP mentioning something about accessing the side bolts on the EGR and not the ones you think.

I would say search "supercharger hose"...

 

Here you go - very detailed - look at Post #21 on:

yes im am "barely" able to fit a socket on there.. and thanks

 

ive read this already, very helpful btw, but im down to the two bolt at the top, i can get to them i just need to find the right size socket, sorry for repeating that.. thanks..

 

U must remove the cabin air filter box.

 

Ditto to the air box, and they are 8mm if I remember correctly. I did this job a few months ago and for the life of me couldn't get those bolts off either. They were just old and kind of rusted so they just rounded off. Ended up having to get an extractor to remove them. After that, they came of with ease! I did have to get new bolts though, but if they are giving you trouble, just get an extractor and replace them with new bolts!

 

Ditto to winterjag and/or: For an entire day my mechanic sprayed the EGR bolts with loosening lubricant. Use new bolts.

 

thats what i was looking for mines might be rounded out but one of the bolts is loose, ill get them out tomorrow, how long did it take to extractor them out?? and i have the cabin air box already guys..

 

Looks like your best bet is to extract them and replace new... these bolts are a bear to remove...

 

Well, with the extractor socket and a bunch of extenders for my air rachet they came off in about 30 seconds! With the air box removed and the three climate control hoses disconnected at the firewall, you can just get access to them. Now, when I put the new ones in, I used my fingers and a small rachet by hand. I didn't want to risk damaging the new ones with air tools.

 

Just a thought... maybe coat the threads with anti seize lubricant.

 

hey can someone direct me to the egr tb coolant hoses i dont want to cross them up, the job is going together well couldnt work on it much due to work but its almost done, can start the car this weekend..

 

Cool, your close. Does anyone have the schematic for the EGR and TB?

 

yea i have the hoses on i was looking at a pic on the removal page and noticed that i put the small end of the hose thats under the supercharger (not the big end that caused this mess) on the tb and is gotta be the egr, just dont want cross nothing you know..

 

anyone??

 

Is it not shown in either JTIS or JEPC?

 

in the JTIS it doesn't show the egr and tb in the coolant hose diagram or atleast i cant find it and whats JEPC??

 

In stickies and Search also finds it.

Is hose not shown elsewhere in JTIS?
