DIY: Berk Technology HFC Install

Skipin Jupiter and Bryan 212.

Thank you both for you input and suggestions, it seems that a 1/2 breaker bar and extensions are the key to success. I was testing what I could reach today with my 1/2 inch extensions and I found I needed one mor. I was able to get the 6PT 14mm around the bolt with the extensions I have but had 0 clearance to really turn or attach a longer bar to my breaker bar. So it's back to the store for another extension and possibly that "Irwin Stripped Bolt Removal socket kit" as well, sbecause I got one turn out of the bolt and under further examination, it looks like I rounded the edges once. I was still able to get a bite from the socket after seeing the edges looked rounded. But better safe then sorry.

I will update on any further progress.

Thanks!

KBC
