Engine wiring loom removal

[182halfpenny]

Have taken the engine out of the Clio today to swap it for another one, I have to swap the lions over to. I have everything off but the loom runs between to main block and the inlet manifold. Is there any easy way to remove this or will I have to take the manifold and injectors out to get the loom out ?.

Unbolt fuel rail guard and you can get to the loom easy enough

loom shouldn't go between the two, you sure that's how it is?

May possibly be the guard as mentions above but to me looks like it was part of the manifold.

How many bolts is holding the guard on? To me it looked like part of the manifold.

The big block part at the front of the engine comes off to gain access to the fuel rail and injectors , held on wiTh 2 13mm nuts inside the holes on the from , if I remember rightly

2 10mm socket size (if original) nuts onto these 8mm studs.

10mm nuts, you may need a 3/8" narrow deep socket to get them.

once it's out of the wiy wiring is a doddle to get off.
