I took a long torx bit and hammered it in. Worked well. Once it was out, I replaced it with a standard bolt.

and if that doesnt work drill a hole in the middle and use an easy out to remove

I did this once with a left handed drill bit and that in itself screwed the bolt out heheheheeeee

I didn't have a problem with any of the other ones. Sliding the plate forward will net you a little bit, but not a whole lot. It allows the fuel governor arm to move forward farther, giving you more fuel.

If you move the plate full forward that will cause your egt's to go up.If you don't have an egt guage i recomd getting one first.
