Re: Raising the Shaker - Step by Step

This is a good mod at which to start being a handyman. You remove the accordion shaped piece of air duct between the shaker ane the airbox (either end), remove the two bolts on either dide of the shaker base that are located under the conical bump on either side of the shaker water shield, pull up on the shaker, and it will pop off. Four ball studs are thus exposed (the shaker sits on these), remove these carefully (they are plastic) and place 3-4 1/4" washers beneath them and reinstall them. Reassemble in reverse order....push down on the top of the shaker after you set it onto the ball studs to make sure it's fully seated, reinstall the two side bolts, and reattach the air duct.

Do you really want someone at a shop doing something like this?
