Sorry, only way to access the balancer is to remove the H20 pump!! While you are at it, depending upon your mileage, you might consider replacing the Optispark at the same time. :eek:

Thanks, man I was really hoping I wouldn't have to do it all again, I just replaced the w/pump and opti. But I skipped that seal and it leaks from that are. What a coincidence of that seal going the same time the w/pump went!!!!!
