On the 91 W350 I had 12 years ago one of the bolts did me in. Luckily I was going down hill to town and heard a pop like one of my tires threw a bolt into the wheel well and I looked down and had zero oil pressure. I was running Mobil 1 5W40 and drove it 7 miles to the dealership with no damage to the engine. Still cost $2000 to fix though.

Honestly, I couldn't tell you. They are only torqued to 18 FPs and I just used a ratchet and took them off. It was several years before I discovered this site and joined, although there is a good possibility that this is where I found out about the KDP problem in the first place...Mark

I could be wrong, Its been a long time since I did mine.

I believe the top gear hole is the IP studs
