I just adjusted my valves on my d15b. How the hell do I get the rubber grommets off the valve cover bolts. I want to replace them because they came with the gasket kit.

 

? they usually just fall off

 

This should help. The bolt head is blocking it on one side and it's flared out at the bottom?

 

elbow grease, pull hard

lmao at the WTF!
Hell if you got new ones just cut those off. Then grease up your new ones, put the bolt in a vise and then slippin slidin that bitch on.

 

buy new bolts

 

lmao, did they really have to flare it at the bottom? some engineer is laughing his *** off right now at the stupid american

 

makes more sense now with the pic. I remember I did change those at one point but dont remember, I think I just cut them off and stretched the new ones on

 

**** on this, I'm reusing the old ones

hahaha, that made me laugh.

The flares are there to keep us goofy americans from overtightening those bolts and ruining everything haha.

 

Back together. What a waste of time. I've had that motor in there for 2 1/2 years and there wasn't a singe valve out of spec.

Start placing bets on how long it takes for the **** to start leaking oil. I didn't realize you needed a seal puller and driver to get those spark plug seals out/in. So I pried em out with a screwdriver and pounded em in with a hammer and socket. Someone insert that ******* hammer icon now.
