HOW TO REMOVE THE IAC SCREW?
 

95gt 5.0

How do you get the lower screw out

I got the top 1 with a 5/16th socket but can't get the socket in the lower 1 even with a swivel!!!

Am I a idiot or is there a trick to it? Everything I've read says to use a 8mm or 5/16th socket.

I have a 8mm socket but it's deep well & won't fit as there isn't very much room between the screw and a black looking pipe running on top of the valve covers. Also I noticed when I use my shorter 5/16 it won't go on because there is a curve on the IAC above the screw that seems to intrude the way!!

HELP PLEASE AS I NEED TO CLEAN THE IAC:icon_dunce:

can you get to it with a box end wrench?

you mean a standard box end wrench? If so I tried that...lol But I'll try again if need be.

Thanks

If your pulling it to clean it , I suggest just remove the entire throttle body so you can clean that as well. But Im pretty sure on my 94 I used an 8mm or 5/16 open end wrench , 8mm and 5/16 are the same thing so it doesn't matter. It helps to remove the air intake tube and use the shortest wrench you can find.

dswson1112,

I'll try the open end wrench again and the air intake isn't in they way it's on the other side. I took some pics but don't know how to attach them on here...lol

here's a link to my pics:http://s1174.photobucket.com/user/eg...?sort=3&page=1

First 4 are what we are talking about.

Whew....Just got done cleaning it & putting back on

Had to take the throttle body off but wasn't that difficult to do & mine was DIRTY!!

Thanks to everyone
