Air!: How to get bolt in the back of intake out? I'm talking about the little solenoid bracket that is behind the top of the intake. I've searched all the threads, and have done everything short of taking the intake out to get at it.. How has no one else run across this problem and what am i doing wrong lol. 'I think its a 14 or 15mm bolt but i don't know cause i cant seem to get anything back there anyways!

If you are referring the the AIR bracket, the bolt is a 15mm and is attached on the back on the cylinder head. It also holds down three important ground wires. The easiest way to remove is to take the coil bracket off (optional) and use a ratcheting 15mm wrench. It just takes some patience (lots more if you are just going to use a box-end wrench!). No need to remove the intake. Good luck.

I used a shorty 15 mm wrench to loosen it. You dont need to remove the bolt as the bracket is slotted you only need to loosen the bolt enough to slide the bracket out and then retorque as it is the ground point for some pcm grounds that need to be tight. I had to break the vacuum solenoid off the bracket first but nothing else had to come off and itll be a cold day in hell before i need that crap again lol
