K-26 cold side backing plate bolts (RIBE) ???

[Ameer Antar]

Taka,

I think you have misinterpreted my message. I have no animosity towards you.
I don't hate you b/c you say to use the right tools. In fact, in all of my
previous posts I agree, you should if possible use the right tools. I was
merely pointing out that it was good enough for me...and I'm merely sharing
my experience. I am in no way an expert or professional, that's why I can
accept the disadvantage...This might not be acceptable for everyone...but
it's my experience and it worked fine for me.

I don't see anything uncivilized about my posts. And I don't mean to pick on
words, but it's important to not get confused between trip-sqare and
torx...if working on cars is a religion, then I'm a sinner, but I can get
things working for my needs. I don't take pride in turning bolts w/ the
right tools [mostly b/c i can't afford them], I take pride in a nice ride.
Again Taka, no animosity, just a different perspecrive.
