HFC install/ PB Blaster question
 
I'm going to receive my CNT HFC in a few days and decided to start soaking some of my bolts with a lot of pb blaster. My question is how did you guys manage to spray certain bolts on the header side. Certain areas seem too tight to get a good angle to spray the bolts. Any advice? Thanks in advance.

I just squeezed in the can up there from below. Really awkward and tight but I managed to get some on. You could also try spraying some on a towel and rubbing the bolts.

get a rubber tube, twist how you want, spray into tube.

I just got my Berk Hfc's installed with a help of friend yesterday, you have no choice for the bolts on header side but to spray pb blaster while you're trying to remove them. Just try to use like a straw thingy from WD40 can and spray it. That worked for me.

yah, the bolts on mine didn't budge. In the end, I brought it to a shop, and the mechanic broke the head off one bolt and ended up removing the exhaust manifold to cut the bolt on the other side.

Dang. Did they take out the intakes to get the right angle on the top bolt? That seems to be one of the reasons why they keep breaking/stripping...

Yea the intakes were removed to give us more space, but it was useless because these things were so damn tight.

Don't most of the HFCs come with them? My Berk's have them welded in.

My ERZ/CNT HFC, have the extended bung. But I still got the CEL light...
