Cam housing bolt (6mm allen head)
OK, trying to remove cam tower... My craftsman 3/8" drive 6mm allen head socket will NOT fit inside the cam housing (where you remove the 8mm allen head bolts) ... Anyone else have this problem??

Make your own.
Just take your Craftsman 3/8" 6mm allen socket to the bench grinder and take the
outside of the socket down until it will fit into the cam tower.

I stripped one of those SOB's that was much tighter than the others and had to use my CV 12 pointed socket hammered into the bolt, and alot of foul language, to remove. Good luck.

I got three 6mm allen sockets.
Two 1/2", one 6" long to reach inside the cam housing, and the short one is used around the car (seats and so on).
One 3/8" to use incase the 1/2" drive is too big.
