Can anyone tell me if the WUR can be removed with out removing the intake?
I can't seem to get to the bottom bolt.

Also I put my multi meter to the WUR and it measured at 25.5 Ohms, where as my other 2 were at 23.5 and 25.3 is that any indicaton that it might be good?

it's a bit easier if you remove the coil first.

I did remove the coil, I removed almost everything in the area, except what I think is a coolant line, actually the coolant temp sensor is the main thing in the way so I can't get a ratchet in there. and regular allen keys are too short (for the bottom bolt, top is no problem)

It's possible. I just accepted the fact that there is too much crap under the hood and everything will be a PITA.

Relax, all right? My old man is a television repairman, he's got this ultimate set of tools. I can fix it.

I wonder what were the results of the earlier tests recommended by ideola on your earlier thread? Those results would be a help for diagnosis.

Last time I removed it I ended up throwing tools at mach 2 speeds into the wall until I broke down and pulled the intake. Since then I bought 5 spare intake gaskets because it's just not worth that level of rage. And I'm generally a pretty calm guy

I used a bench grinder to cut the longer leg off the correct size Allen key, fitted that into that size 1/4" drive socket which I then fitted to a ratchet arm. Then I held them all together with masking tape. Using this, removing and replacing that bottom screw is fairly easy, provided you have removed the coil.

I have done this twice I think, its a PITA but is doable without removing the intake manifold. Im pretty sure I used a standard allenkey too. All I really remember is my sore back as I was hunched over for awhile

I removed the coil, fuel lines, AAV (maybe not necessary but I wanted more room), vacuum lines.

To get the bottom bolt try using the allan key the long way and use pliers on the short end to get enough leverage to loosen the bolt.

WUR removal/adjustment is simple

OK, I cheated

yeah, theres no way its comming off with out removing the intake.
I was able to get an allen on the bottom bolt. and I THINK i cracked it. But i barely have room to move and I now cant tell if im turning the bolt at all, or just miving it back and forth or even engaing it now.
