How does everyone get these suckers off when they go to the junkyard? Getting to plenums makes removing these mandatory, ugh. I tried using a hammer and an impact driver, and broke two bits that way. Cute.

i take a screw driver. then i pound on the screw driver while its on the screw. it warms up the screw and then you can usually get them to come out. if not, the head will snap. :lol:Attached FilesAnother one dead: 1985 2+2 GLL, stripped going to the recycler!!! doing my part to stop global warming!

Am I understanding this right?
People have problems removing collector cover plates?
I've never ever had any problems and I've removed many.
As long as you have the correct sized phillips they will unscrew
with a good twist of the wrist and thats it.
If your screw driver is too small then you will start rounding
the screws and THEN you will have problems :lol:

Hey everyone, thanks for the tips. The cover is on a vg30 maxima at the junkyard in not so hot shape. It's hard to get a very good angle on it as the engine is leaning back. But we did try an impact driver like I said and broke both philips tips. I don't care if I have to break the cover, I want the plenum to play with...Lance 'never-ending 88na2t project' Landry
