    Just did this myself , pretty simple if you have the right tools.
    This is to be done at your own risk!

    1. To plug the two coolant ports i used quik steel from orileys



    2. When filling the holes try to put some sort of pressure on the oppisite side, so it is flat and come lose. (if you would lik this is a great time to fill in the EGR with this stuff then put the bolt and holder in place)



    3. Let dry for about 3 hours, then LIGHTLY sand the highs spots down smooth with the top of the LIM, I used 80 grit



    4. Take of the coolant cover on the drivers side of the LIM



    5. You will now want to take a dremel with the bit 199



    6. You will now want to take ur time, and take the center divider out, to the middle.

    Before:

    After:


    7. Rinse out the LIM to get rid of any small particles. Get the gasket from you local dealer, part number is 24505049



    8. Replace cover and you are done!
