[James106]

How the hell do you get the ICV off?!!!!? i've tried taking off the throttle body and doing it that way, but i can't get the torx bit into the bottom screw!!! what tool do i use? how do you get it off?

I took mine off last week.

Really hard to get access as the back wall of the engine bay gets in the way.

I have a screwdriver with inter-changeable heads on them. I literally took the correct size head and used a tightening spanner to hold the bit at a right angle, and slowly did little turns until it came out.

Took aaaaages, but got it eventually. Did the same to put it back on as well.

Hope this helps.

yeah, thought it might of been a pain in the ass, i could get like half the torx bit in but didn't want to round off the bolt!

cheers anyway
