The funnest part of this project yet.. .. The two little bolts that hold the heat shield to the back of the HPOP cover. My fat hands and fingers barely fit around the up pipes. Any tricks or tips for putting those two bolts back in? ~Thanks!

Bad joke time.

Take a run down to the red light district and find some tiny hooker

Your advise sounds like I could potentially get into trouble....like I need any help. :-)

I stuck both the short and long 8mm socket on a rare earth magnet for a good long while and was able to magnetize the sockets enough I got the bolts back in without dropping them.
