I changed mine last weekend. I used a short 10mm wrench. I removed the pipes and hosed from above so that I could see what I was doing, but I put the wrench on from underneath. Because the bolts are so close to the start valve body you can only get a small fraction of a turn at one time. It helps to have long arms. However, the nuts loosened easily and I was able to turn them with my fingers for most of the way.

OK, here's the deal... I'm working on replacing the fuel injectors (man were they ugly) and decided that while I'm at it, I'll replace all of the fuel hoses. Now I'm working my ass off trying to get this one last hose loose that runs under the intake manifold and I here a snap and then the hose comes off. I look at the hose and it has a piece of the valve in the picture. What is this, I've heard of a cold start valve and a cold start injector but the Bentley doesn't do a good job with 535 pictures for this. What is it or are they the same thing. I've got to go to the stealer tomorrow and get a new whatever it is.
