I'm a happy camper, got it on, no drop bolt, a little tight in there. Probably be a little easier if I had more than my metric crescent wrench to work with.

My BPV didn't come in before I left to go to the range, so I had at it this afternoon. I didn't drop any bolts but I'm 0 for 1 this go around. I have most of my tools in storage so I have only a socket set available for this. I just couldn't get the bolt on the firewall side out. The light started fading on me and the skeeters started coming at me. I decided to call it off until I can grab a crecent wrench. So I buttoned it all back up and ran it to double-check. It's all good but no new BPV for all my scrapes.

no kidding about those scrapes. I went to class the other day looking like I had some kind of skin disease. Second time around I said forget that nonsense and just pulled off the air box, much easier.

Yeah, I think I got off easy as I am a slender fellow. I pity the burly folks with thick meathooks tryin' to reach back there.
