I vaguely remember it being a t40, a universal joint will make it a pain in the ***** to keep lined up. It is a tight spot; but very do-able. Think it's bad taking it apart; wait til you try to put it back together. Lots of patience is key.

Be careful its easy to strip out those t40s it soft metal mine where allens if I remember correctly and mine did had to use an extractor
Use grease to hold it together until you get it in place

Cool I planned on the grease trick to hold it together I think I will soak those bolts in hopes of them breaking free better. Stripping them is the last thing I want!

Kit comes with two new screws for that reason, mine were the same length as stock. Don't know if they were supposed to be a hair longer or not but if they were that's explain the difficulty I had assembling my KSB with the spacer in place.

Ok then the stockers are torx and the m&h are allens. Or at least mine where been a year since I did it. Plus you have to fight the spring tension to get em started.

I hope you have better luck with your than I have with mine. It's either my truck, or it just doesn't work as expected.

Why what symptoms do you have? Plus mine had two stock sims in there one thick other thin. M&H says put stock (shim) ontop of m&h new shim. So I used the stock thicker one and left the thin one out.
