I need to replace the same thing but those four screws are rusted to the point of falling apart when touched. Anything you recommend I do to help make it easier? My last option is taking it to a mechanic 😅

[@Nerovisum]

Hello @zyRexGaming check out the link to my website on an article I just wrote inspired by your post. It gives some detail in writing/audio. If that doesn’t help you may need to take off the manifold and everything as a whole to have better access. Take your time and be patient. Let me know your results. Good luck!
