I think I'm being really thick (aircon bracket)
« on: 24 February 2022, 12:10:39 »
In my mission to strip and clean every last bit of the car, I'm on with the engine. I've removed the aircon pump and PAS pumps. The bracket that the aircon pump sits through, on the NS of the engine... I've undone all the bolts I can see and it moves but it won't come off.

I assume Ive missed a bolt or connector somewhere... Do I need to remove the timing cover to get in to something? I am trying not to just use brute force and ignorance for once... :y

As expected I was being thick. After a cup of tea I found the one bolt hiding from me. Worryingly it wasn't tight... :/

It does. If I wasn't so opposed to sharing, I'd pop over with a few bags of Yorkshire and see if Putin would calm down a bit ..

If he wants them, I am pretty sure he will come and get them... ::)

Perhaps you had already loosened it? Before putting the kettle on? 8)
