Thanks leathermang for the reply.

Hey, that is quite a rig you came up with to remove the allen bolts for sure. Went out and bought a vise this afternoon, any excuse to buy a tool eh? Think I'll give that a try before I find another excuse to buy a welder. :-)

Thanks for the safety tip on the impact driver. Yep, know about the hazards of not using the correct equipment properly. Saw a guy once nearly take a piece of socket shrapnel into his eye by not using a impact socket.

Will work on the 280S in the morning and keep you advised. Appreciate your help and attention.
