1 terry Posted September 29, 2021 Share Posted September 29, 2021 If there are two allen head screws, unscrew these and should pop out, they have a little curved piece on each one that clamps the heater down to the block when you screw them down. 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/68329-how-to-remove-block-heater-off-a-e6-block/#findComment-480653 Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 Vladislav Posted September 30, 2021 Author Share Posted September 30, 2021 (edited) Once again, many thanks! Two allen bolts were seen from the outside but by their look I supposed they would put the heater apart and had no relation to its fit in the block. Acting with an allen tool I was able to move them nearly half a turn by normal loosing direction - counter clockwise. After which they both got a stop but could spin relatively free in the range. It looked too untypical indeed and I pryed the heater body by its edge and got it off without much efforts. Now is the time to look for a correct plug. I could make a new one with a lathe but have no idea on the fit tightness. So seems better to purchase the original part. Bad thing it would take loooong.
