right.

removing/fixing VIAS takes a LONG azz time because the screws ALWAYS strip. I had to take off the plenum to get to the dam screw.

get an "easy out" and it takes just ten minuits to get it off.It is a socket made to take off stripped bolts and you just turn it on and it grabs right away.costs about $10 for a whole kit at your local auto store.
