Can I pull the ipr valve without pulling the intake manifold?

if you have an 05 and up yes. early 60.s had that stupid cross over that gets in the way of everything.

On a 03 you will have to pull the turbo to get the intake off because of that crossover also. I hope for your sake the turbo mount bolts want to come out ok without anyone rounding off. Lubricate with penetrant liberally and let set a couple hours.

I have an 03 and Ive removed mine with only moving the degas bottle. Its tricky but can be done. I made an IPR socket with a 5/8 nut tacked to it. I get it back there and use a 5/8 swivel 3/8 drive and some extensions. To make more room pull the FICM and FICM mount.

I already pulled it all once. Michaelman can you post a picture of the tool that you made?? That would be awesome ...

Wont be later tonight because the wife has the camera and I dont have a smart phone. and you have to promise not to laugh at my welds which look like a chicken backed up and pooped on it. But ill give you a heads up description. Its a craftsman 1 3/8" w/ a 3/4 drive. Slice a slot down the side bout 3/4'' wide almost to the base of the socket. this is to clear the coil connector. Then using a die grinder, grind and grind and grind and grind some more, the guts out out of the socket to allow it fit over the coil and armature of the valve. (having valve in hand is handy for this process to check for fit. I kept a trashed one to do this) Then I tacked a 1/2'' cut washer to the socket( used as a filler for the 3/4 drive) then I tacked a 1/2'' nut to that. And I lied, its not a 5/8'' swivel, using a 1/2'' nut made it a 3/4'' swivel. But this all up for customization. Soon as the wife gets home ill post some pics
