[QUOTE="rbarn, post: 295145, member: 7775"] Ok, I figured out the "trick" to accessing the back bolt. Wire harness routing is CRITICAL or you will not have enough room. It requires cutting off pretty much every retainer on the harness to get enough slack and folding and bending back plugs and connections. When you get the wire harness and intercooler hose looking like pictured you can now access the bolt. It goes from impossible to just being a serious pain in the neck. I used a little 3" long 10mm mini-wrench with 12pt box end to get back there and tighten it with 1/8th of turn at a time. I never could get a 1/4" socket back there, much less a torque wrench. Just get it nice and hand tight, it doesnt take much torque. Wire harness must look like this before blower goes on. Whipple does not make this clear in the instructions. Or at least not clear enough [ATTACH=full]200252[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
