Intake manifold cleaning

[Matthias]

So I felt pretty defeated today, I pull apart everything that needed to get pulled apart to get at the manifold and that one bolt that’s at the that’s hiding behind the turbo elbow was an absolute pain because I stripped that one bolt that’s holding down that elbow. So tomorrow I head to crappy tire to see if I can get some equipment to pull that bolt out.

A few things got missing in the mix, working in minus 8 degrees Celsius so it was pretty rough. Got a couple videos I plan to edit but didn’t get a vid on the whole rip out but do plan on doing one on the reinstall and cleaning of the intake. But if anyone has some tips on how in heaven I’m going to get that Allen bolt off of the elbow that I can finally get access to that manifold that would be great. Thanks!

How did you get the stripped turbo elbow bolt out? I tried to get mine out with a ball end allen and it slipped. Not sure if the bolt is stripped as the allen is slightly damaged... Also, can you get the manifold off with the elbow still in place?
