ok i got a new tfi module for my car, finally, and im trying to get the old one out but every socket i try is either too big to fit in the hole or too small to fit over the bolt. ive tryed all the 1/4 drive sockets that i have and none of them work i even went down and bought two more sets. does anyone have any idea how to get these out? or what sizet he bolts are? i really want to start driving my car again, so if anyone has any input please let me know. thanks,
Joel

Buying the tool is the right way to do it, but if you have a spare 5.5mm or 7/32" socket, you can grind it down enough to make the socket reach. It doesn't take much to make it work.
