Thanks for the suggestions. I do have and use the impact sockets with the impact gun. Agree with using the least possible extensions for the job as possible to keep losses at a minimum. You'll have said what I suspected, need to use breaker bar as the force of the impact gun is not enough. Using the breaker bar on bolt D is going to tough.

Few more question: I have seen posts of people talking about the triple square bolts (star) but I did not see any on the TX... I also found bolt G missing. Is this common? Porsche did not put this bolt in? Should we leave it like that or replace with a M12x1.5x70mm? Also, what is the snorkel?

Thanks.
