What size are the bolts? Sorry, it's 1AM and I'm wanting to get up in a good mood and not be hunting for sockets.
Yes, I still haven't changed it. I keep trying, and giving up.

I just changed my stat to a cooler one last night. The bolts are 1/2" or whatever the metric equivelent is. The passenger side is easy, just get in there with a socket. The drivers side I got a wrench on there and a used a hammer with a socket extension to knock the bolt loose. Then I used two different 1/2" wrenches to get the bolt out (alternating the teeth on the wrench, that is why I used two). Good luck, it can be done, might be easier to remove the TB.

Oh, how I could be funny.....
I recall everything was 13mm.
It can be done, without removing everything in sight.
I did it the lazy way.
Watch out putting it back in, it is aluminum, strips easy!
