20V (RR, 3B) inlet manifold removal

Phil Payne asks:
<<The book shows VAG 1669, which looks just like a standard Allen driver.
<<What size, and how long does the shank have to be?

Chris Miller adds:
A 6mm allen fits fine on my 3B; you'll need one with over 6 inches length to
use the handly access holes in the intake; you can make the short end of a
standard wrench fit from above along the fuel rail, but the long allen would
be easier.


I used an allen socket on the fastener, then a 3/8 to 1/4 reducer, a long
1/4" extension through the access holes, into 1/4 -to- 3/8 adapter, to the
ratchet or torque wrench.  Sneak the allen socket down onto the fastener
first, then lower the extension down through the holes.  Worked like a
charm...
