Hey all,

While repairing cleaning my EGR valve I accidentally dropped a nut into my Manifold that sits below the throttle body. I know the nut is on the left side if looking from front. I learned the only way to get this nut is to remove the whole manifold. Problem is that I haven't found a good guide on how to do that. Can anybody guide me on this. Or if there is a easier way to get the nut that would be great too.

 

Why dont you get a telescoping magnet, and put it down there you dropped it, in hopes you can snag it and pull it out? most auto parts stores sell them

 

You have my sympathies. In March when I replaced the cylinder head on my '94 Blazer I had it almost completely put back together when I dropped a washer down the distributor hole. I had to pull the manifold and get down in the bottom of the distributor hole to get it out.

Good luck!

 

this

leaving it will only cause damage

If you end up removing the intake , lift it straight up so it doesnt fall in the engine

 

Ca anyone provide a guide to removing a 1991 S10 Blazer intake Manifold? I tried the telescoping magnet with no luck :/

Note I am a newbie with auto work. I want to take my time and do it right, but I would be the one to remove the wrong things. On my engine do I need to take out my A/C, alternator, and distributor to get to it?

 

I can't help you here. I don't have any experience with the TBI manifolds. All the ones I've worked on have been Vortecs. I would imagine that you have to take the throttle body and anything else connected to the manifold off. The next step should be removing the manifold bolts. When everything is loose you should be able to pry it loose and lift it straight up.

As I said, I've never done a TBI so you should wait for a more qualified opinion.

 

get yourself a haynes manual
it should have an in depth explanation of this job
