Hi,
I´m just about removing all the pipes and the auxiliary air pump.
Unfortunately I am stuck with the long pipe running underneath the RH exhaust manifold... I can´t pull it on neither side.
Did someone manage to remove this c46337 as one complete piece and without taking out the engine??
Cheers,
Tom

 

I just abandoned it in place.

Cheers

Yes, this would be the best choice.
Unfortunately I have someone who wants the complete undestroyed kit...

 

I did the same. I think the only way to get it out is to remove the engine.

 

In The Kirby Palm you find:
"If you ever have the right side exhaust manifolds off for some reason, you can remove it then."
Is someone able to confirm this... ?

 

Engine out is the way.

Even the RH exhaust manifold off is a mammoth task, engine out is easier again. Maybe not so hard on LHD, but a PITA on RHD.

 

Okay, thanks, I c.
Kind of a dilemma decision...

 

Okay, gave it up...
...though there might be a chance for the LHDs to get those rear manifolds out by countering the nuts.

Buuuut, the event of having a broken bolt sitting there... led me to arrange my needs in an other way.

Engine out is the only real way.
I have one from the motor I took out last year. I don't need it.

 

I have one from the motor I pulled out of the 88 XJS 'cpnvert last last year.

Let me know. I sure don't need it.

 

Thank you so much Brad!
I just bought one in the UK a couple of hours before...

 

That way worked out...
