Re: Need a little help...Replaced the EBP sensor on my truck and I overtightened and snapped it!!

Ok, I got it done. Hoooooly Chit, what a nightmare.

There was ZERO room to work around the EBP sensor bracket so I had to remove the bracket from my truck.

I removed my intake, and all of the flexible hose back to the turbo. I then removed the entire I/C hose that hooks on top of the engine and connects at the bottom of my truck.

Now that all of the stuff is out of the way.....I removed the metal line that connects the EBP bracket to the exhaust. I then removed the two bolts holding the EBP bracket on the engine block. In order to remove the bracket I had to use some channel locks to pinch the clamp that holds the big radiator hose and slide it up while at the same time lifting the bracket up.

Now, getting the old thread removed from the bracket. The EZ Out didn't budge it, AT ALL so I drilled as much as I could out and took it up to NAPA here in town and they put a tap and die on it and rethreaded it.

I then reinstalled everything with the new style EBP sensor (I'll be damned if I overtighten it again) and everything is back to normal. At least I did get to know my truck a little better [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smokin.gif[/img]

Never argue with an idiot. They will bring you down to their level and beat you with experience.
