Great product! Definitely a must have for a manifold leak!

I can't say enough good things about this piece. Definitely a great money saver. I probably saved about $1,000. HOWEVER, as everyone says, it's a complete pain to install. I would suggest getting a second person to help you. I installed it on the left rear of a 01 GMC Yukon. Before you start, screw in the screw that closes the distributor. In the end it saves you time. Start at the bottom and have a helper hold it from above. The part is very heavy and cannot be held and screwed tight. Pass your left hand through the bottom of the wheel arch. Then push both hands up and fully tighten as you begin. The top just needs a little patience but goes in pretty easily. When both are in place, tighten them with a ratchet wrench. I tried to do it on my own and after over 2 hours, tons of sweat and lots of swearing I still couldn't do it. However, after my friend got hold of it, I had it fully installed in under 30 minutes. I hope this helps and good luck.
