... the 'trick' is to step away when the blood pressure rises beyond patience. I thought the bolts were cross threaded for the angle.used a short box wrench to break the galvanic corrosion on the forward bolt. when it came out' I knew a wrestling match was in the cards. relatively small fingers and big patience to start the forward bolt first. drop the rearward washer by phillips screwdriver. prepare for back pain as you wrangle second bolt home. magnetic extension or small blob of grease on bolt to keep it true as you locate odd angled hole in block. massive sense of accomplishment when it's over ! h t h mike

Is there a special "trick" to getting at the 10MM? bolts on the aux air reg
brakt? A 10mm socket and flex extender just slip off and a box wrench
doesn't fit. I have removed the air cleaner and boot parts so I do see the
bolts but it's a tight fit and the bolts are on a funky angle. I'm always
amazed that the simplest thing always hang me up. Thanks for any help.
