How to remove top back bolt on VF SC flange?? (PIC)
I got it off. Had to remove the unit and use a vice grip to get it started.

 Won't fit? Vice grips, perhaps?

A standard allen wrench definently not. If I cut it down to like 1/4" on the short end it might fit. I just wanted to hear others experience before I "mod" another tool

I didn't use those stupid allen's at that bolt and a few others. Good ol bolts worked alot better although don't have as much bling factor.
 Cut down an allen wrench, that worked on a few of the intake manifold bolts I put in. |

Ya even a allen bit was too tall to go in there. I think I might have to cut down a 6mm allen so that just like 1/4" of the short end is left.

That sure looks like a place where a hex head bolt would be better. Then an open-end wrench would reach it easily.

the allen bolts are a horrible idea.. use studs/nuts they work.. also use regular bolts on the outlets.. |
