I agree completly. I first used a regular socket and it broke it. Went to my impact sockets and it fit really tight. Even had to lightly tap the socket on with a hammer. This was the key. The main thing IMO is to use some straight extensions with no swivels. This requires the removel of the stock intake to be able to make the extensions work at the proper angle.
