Default the b*tch bolt

every project seems to have one,

I am trying to check out the oil pressure gauge like one of you suggested, but for the life of me I can't figure out how to loosen the nuts on those little studs on the center gauge console...HELP!

You gotta take the shifter console and the AC/heater control panel out and reach them fron there. It's still not fun. Just use a small socket (I think it is 11/32 or 3/8 ) and a fine tooth soft !/4" ratchet like an S&K.
