Hey All

[stlcruiser]

Here's what I did.

1. disconnect small hose at firewall from PHH pipe to diverter valve. (on top of engine)
2. do not mess with up bolt near the upper part of engine on the firewall
3. loosened the lower bolt that holds the PHH pipe to the block (through wheelwell)
4. cut factory PHH clamps off
5. carefully with utility knife, (not going too deep), cut PHH hose and remove.
6. at this point, I was able the pivot the pipe enough to slide the new PHH and clamps on.
7. slide the hose and clamps slightly past the bend in the pipe
8. rotate the pipe to line back up with the block nipple and slide the clamps and hose onto the nipple.
9. tighten all clamps, bolts, and reinstall firewall hose.

All of this was done through the wheel well, with the tire removed. The key here is being able to pivot the pipe without loosening the upper clamp bolt. If you check, you'll see that the design of this "hold down" will allow you to do it.

Be careful during the pivot maneuver. My top bolt was tight and wouldn't allow the pivot and I bent the bracket on the tube.

This made everything go cattywanpus. Inr retrospect, to be safe I'd still at least loosen the top bolt to allow a more joyful pivot. It's a pain to get to, but you can get a wrench on it. I thought I was pivoting, and found out later, I was just bending.

a more joyful pivot.

Are we still talking about the PHH?

as usual, this is going down-hill fast.

So who is buying the Sears cable actuated clamp release plier?

 

[stlcruiser]

They told me that they sold the last one to someone with a wierd hat and black truck. So they backordered one for me.

Man, I just can't go anywhere without being recognized

Every time I'm on Brentwood or in the general clayton area, people flip me off, do you know anything about that???

 

[Miescha]

They probably just see the black '96 FZJ with 315 Toyos and the ARB and figure it's me (even though I don't have a snorkel).

I have that affect on people.
