You have to go buy a 6mm allen hex socket... You can get them at sears for like $3.. Its the ONLY way to get the bottom ones out...

edit, heres a quick picture of what they kinda look like

Thanks. Do I need to unscrew the front part first to access bottom screws?

no... in fact unscrew them in a star pattern, so do one of the top ones, then its opposite bottom one, then theother bottom one, then the last top one...

To access the bottom screws, simply get your socket and put an extension on it. the other 2 screws are directly below the top 2 so you can kinda guess where they are. They have a little opening for yo uto put your tool in there.....

Thank you very much.

Sorry to bother you. I managed to unscrew a front lower screw. The other one gives me a problem. It seems life a front part (elbow pipe) is connected to a black metal bracket that holds vac hoses. Do I need to unscrew, or detached any major parts to get access to this lower screw? Do I need to detach accelerator linkage?

Is there any trick to remove lower hex screw close to the driver? I can feel the screw with my finger, but a long L shape 6mm allen wrench goes below my finger. The same with a socket wrench. Do I need to use "tilted drive" an a narrow one? Please help.

Hmm, i never had any problem with it, it always went right in for me, even with my car with TCS....

[CalQ45]

Thanks for responding. I am still fighting with it usinf 1/4 " and 3/8" drives.Did it matter in your case? Did you ude "tilted" adapter?

[CalQ45]

I finally got if off, but only after removing this (however it's called) elbow duct in front of TB attached with three 5mm allens. Thanks for your help and responses. I will be removing plenum next.

[elwesso]

OH YES I completely forgot about that, of course you must remove that elbow thing. I just forget about those things because I dont have TCS on my current Q...
