What the $*&#@ do you use to get in there? Long socket?

Having changed several on 89 and 90 cars, I wondered what all the swearing on the board was about - reports some went in from below, etc. Then, last month, I went after the one on the 91, and learned.

In the 91 and up, the AC piping is right where your left elbow needs to be against the firewall to use a box end wrench on that bolt. Laying on the fender helped.

From the top, about 10" of extension, and some wobble makes it possible. Your main objective is to not break the bracket, and secondary, not drop the bolt. A bit of something jammed in the socket helps to put the bolt back in.

Taping the cable sheath won't buy you any time. But taping up that IAC hose should, until you can get to a junkyard or dealer.









91-93 A/C in the way



89-90 clear sailing
