Got the tvs on and wondering how in the hell do i get the bottom bolts on. Do i have to take off the bumper to get to them. I guess what i am asking is what is the best way to get these bottom bolts on.

 

with a 6mm allen wrench with a ball on the end

 

It sucks but is doable. I think I did those bolts first if I remember right

 

With a ball on the end?

 

look close at the end you can get them a lowes you need a 6mm
Park Tool AWS-8C Balldriver Hex Wrench 4/5/6mm) at BikeTiresDirect

 

yes the bondhus ( ball) end helps. Having a Redline is way better as well , much more room. Snap on make some very long 6 mm ball end allen 3.8 drive keys.

or you can do the 6 mm angle wrench every 20 degrees lol.

 

FABLM8E, Socket Driver, Metric, Ball Hex, Long, 8 mm

choose 6 mm. but you get my drift

torque spec is 18 ft lbs. do it right.

 

Or try the 6mm allen thats on a socket and use a swivel. (Did this on my auto 2.2 with the M62)

 

no room for the swiv to swiv it is to tall ^_^
I just cut down an allen and it made it so much easier ^_^

 

saw this, made me chuckle, your hands will hate you when your done lol

 

Thanks

 

I made the mistake of using bolts when I did the m62 swap, didnt replace them with allens when I went TVS....Try doing it with a 13mm wrench;FML

I tracked down some allenheads for when I put it back on next week.

 

you can get tiny length allen sockets I got those, and then step fro, 1/4 drive up. Heck I worked with a few chums at CED meet and put silly billy's TVS on in the parking lot at the show and Area47 tuned it the same afternoon. win. Will drove all the way from cali for that epic episode. 06 Black helped , he was there but his car was not, his car died in the shop before he left, he drove a rental to the meet...

 

considering the tvs is a lot bigger then the m62 you need a ball allen wrench

 

Well me being an auto I was thinking there was similar space (autos are pushed farther forward than a manual)

 

that may be the case but the tvs is bigger and the bolts kinda set underneath the blower bulge you need a ball driver
