k so last night i started getting the afc off. Now there is one bolt on there that is different from the rest. It has like a allen wrench head on it. It is the upper left hand one of the four. Now i know you guys talked about a bolt that i need to break off with a chisel. Is this the one? I think that everything is off other than that bolt.

If you want to be safe, pull your plate out, grind it to a #100 and put it back in...

I've done 5000KM on mine with it ground to a #0.... i had it at #100 first and i'd keep it at that for consumption and driveability....

#0 gives you more smoke when you get on it...

here's a picture of how you can grind it, and here's a video that tells you how to change it:
