    You need to find those nuts before you take the plenum off. You really don't want to be fishing those nuts out of the head.

    Thanks FBB, great point. I just ordered this tool as my other two grabber tools are too bulky to navigate the small holes in the manifold. Hopefully I can find them.

    I don't think they can be picked up with a magnet, and watch out for the hole at the very back which sends parts down to the clutch.

    Beware... some of the screws are stainless (non-magnetic). Guess how I found out...

    I might have missed it but WAY back here....I wonder approximately how many miles were on your 550? I'm REALLY enjoying this read. Thanks SO much -- Eric

    IMHO 17,040 miles 22 years less then 800 miles a year not so good for the car why do people keep looking for low miles ?
    well driven well serviced at least 3 t0 5 k miles per year wouldn't that make for a happy car....
    I have over 90k on mine and it runs perfectly always serviced (maybe over serviced ) but it sure runs Great :)
