vtec solenoid
Hey, all,
I have a 1995 Accord EX 5-spd. My VTEC solenoid gasket(s) (I got all three, just to be sure) have been leaking for some time, and I've finally gotten around to replacing them. I dove in this afternoon, figuring it wouldn't take too much time, but I'm having a little trouble separating the solenoid assembly from the block.
Specifically, I'm talking about the three 10mm bolts holding the assembly to the block. I've gotten the top two off (although it took a while), but I can't really seem to get at the bottom one. I've pushed my air intake out of the way and unclipped some other wires, but I'm still having some trouble getting to it.
Is there any other way to get to that bolt besides disconnecting that large (1"?) coolant hose? I've never messed with any of that. Just looking for the easiest way--I got a little frustrated with it this afternoon.
What have y'all done?
Thanks for the help!
