Posted 03/02/07 10:08 AM Share Posted 03/02/07 10:08 AM You guys must be INEPT!!!I have fat short fingered wog hands, and I did it without removing the battery.I pulled the hose off, got some old thin speaker wire, removed the innards, and put it in the end of the wd-40 nozzel. Then I spent about 3 seconds fishing, sprayed, removed the f*cker and voila, job done.

Basicly any light oil spray Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/31329-boost-solenoid-maintenance/page/7/#findComment-493664 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Max Power Member 381 Member For: 20y 11m 9d Location: MENAI, NSW Posted 05/02/07 03:46 AM Share Posted 05/02/07 03:46 AM An alternative to removing the battery (also for those reset-o-phobes) is to remove the 2 10mm bolts holding the radiator expansion tank and move it out of the way to get to the boost solenoid that way. I also removed the screw (philips head) holding the solenoid bracket and moved it up and back into the space where the expansion tank was and 10 minutes later all done.Thanks again Zap for the idea.

Did notice a slight difference in performance but nothing too exciting.
