I've got the fresh air box and fan all cleaned up, painted and ready to install. I cannot get the bolt in the driver's side cowl bracket. I just can't get the box in a position that will allow for the threaded insert in the box to line up with the hole in bracket. With enough persuasion I was able to get the passenger side bolt started but no go on the driver's side so far. Any suggestions?
I seem to be having some interference between the wiper motor and the pad on the back side of the air box fan. It looks to me that the pad is there to keep the wiper motor and fan housing from rattling. Should the fan housing pad make contact with the wiper motor creating a snug fit? Attached image(s)

Did mine....I had more bloody knuckles from this job then most. I didn't have a major problem mounting the unit (once I got good enough to finnagle it on without binding up the seal). The real hard part is going to be putting on those friggan cables and adjusting them correctly...now that was a PIA!. I do vaguely remember that I had problems when I tried to set it in and bring it up versus sliding it in with the seal rubbing the cowl area. It took a bunch of attempts of sliding it in.
Sorry I'm not more help then that...just one of those jobs that you like to forget! |
