So, on the tamper proof bolt, will it break if you try to remove it if your AFC housing has never been off? Ive been told that if you just chisel a place into it for a flat head screwdriver, you can just take it right out.

I used a straight small pry bar and hit it with a hammer to give it a flat head indent then used my flat head impact driver and tapped it to break it loose... mine was a b**** to loosen that y i used my impact driver to shock it loose..
