Thanks for posting this and the elbow removal video, just spent the weekend cleaning out a mates 07 Prado, and fark me, what a job, poor car had #4 mani runner half blocked, I was using a teaspoon to remove gunk from where the elbow bolts on! Even the inlet ports and valves were ugly, so got in there and scooped them out as well, and destroyed an old vacuum cleaner sucking crap out of them. Removed an alarming amount of oily soot out of the poor car at 220kms. Couldn't have done it half as easy, especially that b@stard back area of the manifold without your videos so thanks for taking the time! Fitted a Provent 200 at the same time which was a piece of cake by comparison, and hobbling the EGR will be next.
The videos of this vehicle are great, Anthony makes it look so easy, I've watched a heap of the videos now but it's great to see somebody do this who doesn't have the years of experience, well done you whoever you are, I would be a bag of nerves with somebody looking over my shoulder, can't wait for the next one.
