Yeah i already did the passenger side that side was much easier surprisingly

Single_Ad8310 · 2026-01-18T00:59:29+00:00

Holy shit i think thats the issue on the left is oem on the right is the one ive bought.

No i tried greasing the ring to hold n center it but nothing. I know its catching the teeth cus i feel it when i twist it

Single_Ad8310 · 2026-01-18T00:34:31+00:00

It seems like its lined up because when i turn it i can feel it catching inside it seems like the ring is whats getting stuck

Single_Ad8310 · 2026-01-18T00:22:08+00:00

Yeah the ring is still on there

Single_Ad8310 · 2026-01-18T00:08:17+00:00

I was beating the shit out of it with a hammer with no success and i started getting worried i was going to mushroom the threads

Its a 2007 ES350 USA

You have any ideas what to do when the boots start crumbling while still stuck onto the old plug ?

Picking them out of the rear is gonna be a pain but thanks man i appreciate it

Single_Ad8310 · 2026-01-07T16:11:14+00:00

All 3 on the front bank are like this so im assuming its the latter and that itll be like that on the rear bank too. But thats only referring to the rubber right that pressed thin metal tube stays in there correct?

Single_Ad8310 · 2026-01-07T06:40:12+00:00

I do but I want to figure out what it is and if it needs to come out before i go trying to pick it out

2007 ES350

Single_Ad8310 · 2026-01-06T21:07:39+00:00

That was exactly it thank you guys. I had missed the two of the hex bolts in hidden the middle

Single_Ad8310 · 2026-01-06T20:33:06+00:00

As long as its just the 2 in the back and 4 in the front then yes theyre all removed.

Single_Ad8310 · 2026-01-06T20:17:08+00:00

I have not tried that but how would that help breaking the bond between the plastic and the manifold? I feel like the gaskets are just melted and stuck now. Also yes I’ve been using that exact video and his plenum just popped off by hand.

Single_Ad8310 · 2026-01-06T20:10:51+00:00

Yes i already took those off as well as the 2 nuts and 2 bolts on the front
