Passenger side is a from below task.

You need to remove the B-Bolt to allow the dipstick to be eased out the way, then pop off the manifold head shields and the front pipe.

If all the nuts/Studs come out then its not to bad a job, if not then it get tricky.

means you need a lift.. and its a very tight area to work properly..

I still keep my opinion to have them all done at a time..  but if you are going to keep it..

As far as the coolant goes, the car is an ex TV so I trust they have serviced it well.
I have also kept on top of it apart from when the pump let go and I was just topping it up....
Where is the "B-bolt"?
Just finished another job and come in out of the sun for a while...
Next job is the manifolds!!!
As far as a lift goes, I wish it was! That would at least mean it would be inside!!!

b-bolt attaches the metal hose that goes to the thermostat very close to icv..  taking out is easy , putting back together is the problem..

I thought that was it! Thanks! :-y

Well, I have to say that yesterday did not go well!
Apart from sweating my pants off in the sunshine and it being so bright, I couldn't see what I was doing, I spent 3hrs trying to get 1 heat shield bolt off!!! FFS!!!
It was on the pass side the third one back...
Well I got that bugger tonight and no-one told me there was another on the head side of the manifold...
Anyway, I'm short for time so I'm done for today... Wish I had a garage!
I'm going to leave it 'til the weekend now...
On the plus side, some parts came today...
Water pump,
Aux belt,
Front pad sensors,
Irmy looky like grill and some paint for my trim...
On the down side, I have a leak in my gearbox output shaft!!! Bugger!!!

[HockeyDave55]

Aghhh! Flippin' rain and darkness!!!
Ok, I have been on the passenger manifold today and yes, all of the studs came out real easy... Well apart from the front one, that is still buried behind the dip stick tube.
I have removed the 'B' bolt and it moves but not far!? How do I move it enough to get at the front bolt???
I can't see where it can go???
Can I just pull it out?

[Marks DTM Calib]

It might pull out, I normally just get a but brutal with it and tie it out the way

Thanks but forward is the PS pump and not out of the way, rear is the manifold and more in the way And outward is the PS pipe....
I don't see where it can go???

[HockeyDave55]

The B-bolt is out and things are loose but nothing wants to go anywhere!!!

[HockeyDave55]

By the way, I found why I had a blow....
Most of the studs at the rear half of the manifold were loose....

[HockeyDave55]

Ok, I just had a look in the guides... It looks real easy to take out the PS pump so I think that's what I'll do this afternoon when I get back from work....

[HockeyDave55]

Right... Now I'm struggling!!!!
I've got the lifting bracket out and can move the dipstick a little.
I need to get the coolant pipe out... The bolt is out but it doesn't budge.
Can anyone tell me how to get it out??? I'm about to smash it out!!!
I think I might need to get the AC pump and bracket out!?!?!

[cem_devecioglu]

AC pump must be out..
 
here are some pictures from the  time we work on it..hoping to be useful for you..
