can follower

[usaf655]

So I'm following the steps for the PDF can follower and my setup is slightly different. This car is fully stock as well. Its a 2007 though. I don't have the banjo bolt either. How do I get this last torx screw off. Its behind the copper fitting

Here's a pic

Unscrew the fitting and remove it

[usaf655]

ive put a bit of pressure on it. Should i screw the other bolts back into the hpfp, i feel i may snap the one screw putting all the torque on it. Also since it has threads, does that mean its reverse threaded (right-loose instead of normal) ?

Put the other 2 bolts back in and snug them down. Then remove the brass Schraeder valve with the box end of a 13mm wrench. It is threaded normally (lefty loosey - righty tighty). Then take out all three bolts. You do not have to disconnect the flexible hose to pull the pump out and get to the cam follower.

Sounds good, Ill give that a shot. I was just real worried I was going to snap the bolts or try to go the wrong way. I can be sort of an "over torqur'er" sometimes accidentally. [wrench][evilmad]

I would snug down the other two bolts and i used a deep socket (closed end wrench would work mint too) and bump the wrench a few times with your palm, breaking it loose, you have to turn it counterclock wise

Thanks guys. It all worked. Just didn't want to break something. I've done it before on this car /: my cam follower wasn't even that bad.

Not sure about anyone else but that hose that replaced the banjo fitting is really short!

Yeah, I replaced it with a longer section of hose. Makes it easier to manipulate the hpfp.
