You need to modify the allen wrench a little. It is to long on the short end of the allen. Just grind it down about half the length for clearance. KD

The allen wrench is in the shape of the letter "L". The short leg is the base of the "L". It is too long to fit up in there and turn the allen screw. It hits the housing I think, dont remember exactly what it hits, but, make the base of the "L" smaller than it is (in length) by grinding it down. Now it will clear. KD

I'm not sure exactly.
I think it's for a 96, or else I wouldn't have saved it on my pc.
