daniel_g Posted June 6, 2013 Share Posted June 6, 2013 Haha ehh.. headbolts are normally pretty solid. Try undoing them on a fuckin dodge nitro with your pinky then man haha. HG on one of them the day, fun an games. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Chris Green Posted June 6, 2013 Share Posted June 6, 2013 (edited) Its a M12 spline tool dude, you can pick them up off eBay for around £10. You shouldn't need to take the cams out, it think - don't hold me to it though. Edited June 6, 2013 by chrisgreen1993 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

morgey Posted June 6, 2013 Share Posted June 6, 2013 (edited) Ahh i forgot toyota used silly head bolts on 4e's 4ages use standard 12 hex bolts so normal sockets work no need for silly tools hahaYeah belt off, head bolts out in the correct sequence! And only 1/4 turns at a time or you can warp your head! Inlet and exhaust mani's off. Alternator brackets as well? Cant remember 100% as i haven't had a 4e in 6 years haha Edited June 6, 2013 by morgey Quote Link to post Share on other sites

AdamB Posted June 7, 2013 Share Posted June 7, 2013 Its an M9 spline bit before you go getting the wrong one mate, if you round one off use an M10 spline bit. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
