Maybe in 60 years someone will find those sockets in the dump and wonder why I was so wasteful.

I dont know why someone carved up your air director but I bet it saved time. looks like a wolverine has been gnawing at it!
A month after my locking lugs had to be torched off i found the special socket right where put it 20 years ago --duh!
