ok so im installing my AFI catch can (http://www.afiturbo.com/store/produc...roducts_id=129) with this kit you need to remove to the 2 freeze plugs in the back of the block. i have taken one out and put in the AFI piece in now the other freeze plug there was a knock sensor in it. i took the knock sensor out. but does any1 have any idea how to get the rest of the plug out so i can put the AFI nipple in??

srry forgot to add that info....its a B18a block i have a pic from my cell its kinda blurry ill post that till tom.

socket, wrench, adjustable wrench?

^tried that...maybe just hammer bolt into it and maybe be able to break it lose like that?

im confused? dont you just use a 14mm allen wrench to remove these? thats all i did on my b18a1.

can you post a better pic, i cant even tell what that is, is it the left or right fitting?

Can you take a clearer picture? Looks like you have an older OBD0 block and you're removing one of the coolant temp sensors.

i cant quite tell from the picture what fitting you are trying to remove, however if you need any help or have any questions please give me a call over at the shop.

yea they are...the other plug was a 14mm but this one had the knock sensor in it so the 14mm allen wont catch to pull it out....

i found a pic of the back of the block without the knock sensor in it....

its on the left side of the oil filter area

ok i see in this pic there isnt the hex size but cant you use a regular socket to grab the outside of the knock sensor

shocker911

i have tried that....ill have to buy bigger i think....i was thinking maybe hammer a bolt into it so its really tight then try to losen the bolt and hopefully the freeze plug comes out???

dpetro1

wait so are you just saying that you dont have a big enough socket?? simple solution...go buy one that fits! dont start hammering anything. get the right tool for the job

its probably 21, 22 or 24mm not sure which.

shocker911

i got it out....was a 34mm socket to get it out....had to remove the oil pressure sensor and alt. to get in there. but it is out and the AFI stuff is is

dpetro1

34mm, holy sh*t. glad you got it out though

AFI Turbo
