Reply to "How to remove thermostat block off plate"

Dear Steve,

About twenty years ago I decided to remove the stock restrictor to install the PPC restrictor and thermostat. I remember that it was a challenging job for an amateur due to the confined space and restricted access from almost any approach. It seemed no good angle to look at it clearly or room to work with common tools.

I finally settled on using one of those right angle screwdrivers. I could fit the short end into the restrictor with the longer end sticking out. I then proceeded to pull on it to lever it out without success. I then tried tapping the long end of the screwdriver with a hammer. After about twenty minutes, it finally popped out.

I suspect that someone has a more efficient and effective method than my desperate approach. Good luck.

Warmest regards, Chuck Engles
