Beats me. I found that Justin's trick with the flex socket made it a lot
easier; before that I had to go 1/12 turn at a time (by
flipping the wrench over) but it still came off. Yeah, tight quarters and all
those things are in the way, but I did it from above
and don't recall having to remove anything to gain access.
Lots easier than the throttle shaft I just put in with everything in the way.
The spinning captive nuts sure bring back memories, though! I spent a lot of
time fishing needle-nose vice grips into places I
couldn't even see, to grab the cages just long enough to work the bolts out.

And more than once, I had to just cut or grind away the bolt head then repair
the damage later. These things make the repair job a
lot easier, though
