I suspect dispack failure causing misfire. Screws are Torx E10. There is not room between head and dispack for my standard socket. 8mm socket not holding. I guess I need a deep E10 socket. Is there any other way?

Pretty sure I used a 1/4" drive 8mm socket on a long-ish extension

I found a swivel joint helpful when doing my old one, it was -9 at the time too :o
-
Once loosened i found a strong telescopic magnet is ideal for lifting the screws/bolts out , it even turns them the last few threads so you dont drop them . Best bit of kit i ever bought :) Swivel joint helps on an extension for undoing .

You need 1/4 drive 3 inch extension bar and 8mm socket---to remove dispack :y :y :y
-
Long time since I did one, but is it not a case of undoing three, twisting the dis pac, which then gives room to access/loosens the fourth...? Or am I thinking of sumat else....? :-\
Deep socket not needed as far as the depth of the bolt head is concerened.

Arms like Mr Tickle are helpful as well! ;) ;D

Not needed for traditional reasons, as its just a torx bolt, but being longer, it acts as a short extension. IIRC, anyway. If that makes sense.

To the OP, I found one of the most useful "tools" for dispack removal is a "tunnie"....

Who's the young bloke on the left ;D

Haha love that photo. Del Boy n rodders ;D
I find it so much easier to remove plenum then remove inlets. . . You can then get a hand in round the corner of the head. Quite a bit if room.

So extension required, no?

Having failed to remove the inside screws with my E10 torx socket and my 8mm deep socket, I popped into Machine Mart and bought a set of deep Torx sockets, 3/8" drive. While there, I prowled around buying odd items for my kids to give me for Christmas, rather than have them buy me junk. One item I picked off the shelves was an 8 piece set of deep multifit metric sockets 1/4" drive. Label claims it will fit square, double hex, spline, torx and hex heads. bold claim I thought.
Got home, attacked the DISpack screws with my deep torx sockets, no success. Sockets were not deep enough, and the 3/8" heads fouled a plate on the cylinder head. In desperation I opened the above fit-everything pack, found the right socket, and tried it. It worked! Secret was its 1/4" drive, therefore slim.
For £8.39 it was money well spent. Catalogue number 040215225. Might be worth adding to your present lists.

Better order quick or stock will be exhausted by oofs :y
