After installing the front cold shield. This shield attaches to the cold bulkhead by descending through the G10 collar that connects the warm and cold bulkheads. The fancy looking long tool holds a hex-head driver to allow tightening the cold shield mount screws some 18" deep into an otherwise unreachable zone. |
