Evening all. Hoping for some sage wisdom and advice from the 60 fam!!!
I am working through de-smogging my 84 FJ60. While attempting to loosen bolts and remove the j-pipe, both bolts sheared. This obviously poses a problem with simply bolting on the MAF block off plate and gasket provided with their de-smog kit.
Any thoughts on best way to sort this out. At first blush, welding the plate in place seems to be the ticket. My question would be 'How?'. Is the spot that it bolts in a removable union of sort? It appears that way but I obviously can't see roughly of 1/3 of the area from top/side/bottom. I have circled the area on this diagram for clarification. The bolt/nut(s) that sheered is 90179-08128. Searching SOR, it appears what I have actually broken off is the 'EGR pipe stud' (link - part 21). Redline has nifty pics on their site of what appears to be studs pulled and hex head screws securing the plate and gasket in place (link). I struggle to imagine how I would pull this off upside down and left handed on my carport.
Thanks in advance to anyone who can provide me with a nudge.
