I pulled the leaking no. 2 idler today, with a lot more ease than I thought. The last time I did it, I removed the banjo bolt from the fuel rail, and for the passenger side, I cussed and fussed for about 45 minutes trying to fish a socket and extension in there. The last time I did it, I used a 3/8" extension, with a 3/8" universal socket, with a 3/8" 12mm socket.

This time I picked up a 1/4" drive 12mm flex socket, and a 1/4" 10" long extension. This made all the difference in the world. I was able to get to the passenger side bolts from the front, and I was able to easily fish the socket to get to the back bolt on the driver's side without loosening the fuel rail. The socket was the biggest difference. If you use a regular socket and a universal, it's just too tall to fit for some of the bolts. I hope this helps others in the future.

Yep, that's the way to do it.

Well, I started the process of topping off my coolant this morning. After letting her warm up, I shut it down and let it set. After setting for a while, I removed the radiator cap, and guess what I heard...WHOOOSSSSHHHH!!!!. Yes!!! She is holding pressure. That's a sound I haven't heard in a while. Hopefully my coolant leak woes are over.
