I have the dreaded intake actuator arm problem that many have reported. I started doing a little research and found a cheaper alternative to the billet parts that Gruven makes. Nothing against Gruven mind you, their billet parts are beautiful. But since you never really see them someone made a similar part out of delrin plastic. They can be purchased for around $20 cheaper with free shipping on the bay. Im about to undertake freeing my seized intake arms. All I need is the right sized puller. I tried the other way of tapping it out using something to put behind it but im afraid of breaking the plastic shaft. Ill update everyone when im finished.
