I have been trying to install my popcharger today and I've run into a bit of a problem. 2 of the 4 10mm bolts that connect the stock air box to the maf sensor won't come loose, I can't move them with my hands and the power drill I have starts to smoke when I use it on these two bolts. I was hoping some of you guys might have some tricks to help loosen the bolts so I can get them off.

 

WD40, and use hand tools. Drills (unless its an air wrench) don't really give you much torque.

Spray liberally with WD40, and let it sit for a while. Try tapping the bolt heads with a hammer to loosen them up.

 

Use a wrench/ratchet. Power drill don't have enough Torque to remove it. Might be possible to use the stock 10mm wrench in the trunk next to the jack.

 

get rid of the fischer pricer wrench and get a quality drill like dewalt (not the home depot **** version) on makita. just kidding, but you should have no problem breaking the loose, just dont strip the heads. you could also take you phillips bit out of your drill if it is a real small one and put it in a 1/4 socket on a 1/4 or 3/8 ratchet, should come off 1,2,3

 

Thanks, that worked.
