You need a thin wall 7/32 socket for those bolts.. allen key won't work, but I don't know if it is possible to remove the bolts with the distributor in an I6 motor, I just know it's not possible on the V8s.

Not a problem taking them off of the distributor in an I6
Sometimes they sell the sockets as 5.5 mm
Be sure that you put the heat conductive grease on the module when you install
it -- the new one should have a tiny tube of the stuff.
