Nice write-up. the tips to cut the hex key, and replace the bolt were particularly nice touches, that a do-it-yourselfer would have struggled with. A trip to the Snap-on truck (or Sears) will get you a "Gearwrench" brand ratchet box wrench, with 50 or 60 assorted bits (hex, torx, security torx, square drive etc.etc.) for just such situations....about 45 bucks at Sears. One of those tools you can't do without once you use it. Wayne

The words are in the pics. That way, I don't have to hear myself talk.

HAHA! Nice... you just need to make a few more write-ups like this and you might pass the credibility test!

Thanks for this thread Dino! Very helpful - I will be doing this myself fairly soon.

haha..i completely missed this thread!

I was banging my head in frustration at the very same day of this first post...stuck for weeks on getting that rear bolt out! lesson learned: don't be away from vx.info for more than a few hours at a time!

I checked the MPG yesterday on a fill up and it went UP to 15.8!

I was running about 14.5 - 14.8 MPG so I'm very pleased. Low end throttle feels much more responsive too.

Try an electric fan conversion and get another 0.1% increase in throttle response. LOL

Sorry Zeus - told you it was chronic.
