Removing intake resonator...

by **bjj168** » Mon Dec 29, 2008 8:42 pm

Guys

Was wondering if any of you in Sydney can help me out.

I have read the instructions on removal of resonator and for 99% of you guys it maybe a breeze. However I'm not the most mechanically competent person around and was stuck after I removed the panel filter.

A "reputable" workshop quoted me $80 for just this let alone the other mods he was trying to sell to me. Again I'm no mechanic but $80 is a bit rich I think?

So on that note can anyone on here give me a hand on this, apparently it only takes 15-20min?

Thanks
Kevin

Kevin, which part of Sydney are you in? I'm sure there's bound to be someone who's removed the resonator near you.

Sheesh, $80!?

As Jim said, there should be someone around your area who has done it or else a last resort could be to show up at the next meet with some tools.

Who is this reputable workshop?

it's literally a 15min job.

Yeah, sheesh! Even I only charge $79.95!

But as Clarence said it's a 15 min job at most. Wow, that's a cool $320 an hour at that shop.

Thanks
Kevin

Kevin, It's one of those jobs that is reeeally easy.... if you have the right tools. Please don't pay $80 bucks for it.

Gee the response here has been great, so much help in such a short space of time.

Smythie, may take you up on the offer, will pm you.

Thanks all!!

Take a camera, take some pictures, and we'll post it up in the reference section

Haha. This thread is slowly doing a cross over with this other one: http://forum.liberty.asn.au/viewtopic.php?t=3887

But yeah guys, take some pics! That would be great reference material for the forum! A lot of us have done it but it's hard to describe step by step to someone else how to do it. Pics do the job better.

Well, providing the 3 litre is the same as the 4 cylinder models, I'll get some pics in the morning when I play with mine.

Now to find that camera and charge it....

It helps if you've got "girly asian hands" haha which I don't have, and it was a relatively simple task for me. With the right tools and a bit of wrist disfiguration, it took me about 20 mins.

EDIT - Ah it slowly came back to me. I think the resonator is connected to the 2nd half of the air box, you can tell because there is a hole at the bottom of it which is connected to a sort of piss bottle-like thing. Carefully unscrew this whole thing, and remove the bottle. Said bottle looks like this.
