I'm in the process of removing the UIM, I followed the manual and undid all the hoses, connectors, cables, and nuts and bolt as to instructions, but there is still something holding it from underneath the Throttle Body side. I can't see anything under there, let alone reach it. What the hell is it and how do I undo the damn thing so I can pull the UIM. I can only raise that side about an inch. Help please. https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...1047683358.gif

make sure that all of the coolant lines ar disconnected

It is either an electrical connection or a vac line.

Thats all the is on the back, oh or the throttle body coolant line.

There's a 12mm bolt underneath the throttle cable that needs to be take off. Also a coolant line underneath the throttle body that can be removed.

be real careful when you put everything back together, you might easily have bumped something else off you didn't intend on disconnecting. ever since i put my uim back on i've had all kinds of shitty boost problems https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub..._DIR#>/sad.png

be careful with the checkvalves, they tend to break easily.

Yup they do! I managed to NOT break any when I took mine off.. Think I was lucky though!
