Hmm, disconnected all the lines to it and the unplugged the injectors, still won't lift up and out, yes I did double check on the lines and there are none leading to the chamber, this is really starting to annoy me and I have tried yanking out out and still no luck, what did I miss?

I never pulled it out to clean it mate. But there is a how too remove your plenum chamber how too somewhere in the forums if you want to actually take it off to clean it :)

Oi Mr. Eggs, some advice please.

Ok you know V8's? I have one of that type of car and it's lots of fun.

I suspect it might be getting a lil dirty on the inside after I have thrashed it for 83,000km's. Well not thrashed but if you call me a grandma you'd be wrong. Sydney air is very polluted, you know.

So my question: My SS's L76 6 litre has a slightly different set up to your VX. Your pretty nifty how-to has inspired me to clean out my SS's nose whilst copycat-ing you to get instant celebrity status on the internet (again). The thing is as I have never attempted this before, and seeing I will give you some credit for the up and coming masterpiece of mine, do you have any suggestions???

Only the only suggestion: Don't be a cheap scape and buy the service manual. The answers you seek, are in there.

What I'm actually trying to say is: I have no ####ing idea!. However I assume the principle is very similar. Remove Engine cover, remove throttle cable, throttle body, then top of plenum. How hard can it be? Then yes, write up a very funny how to. However I must implore you, if you are a woman, do none of the above and take it to a mechanic :)
