I took the channel down and I’m not able to go back and edit this sites links. If you have any questions I can answer let me know.
Do you know of a video that shows how to use the complete DTI model 3300s kit ? The instruction manual is good, but I’m more of a visual person

Hey guys, would any of you mind posting a pic of the wrench you've modified/used to loosen the IP?

No pic needed. I use a stubby wrench on the passenger side and a full-size wrench that I ground down the thickness to @ 3/16" on the passenger side.
You're only going to be able to turn the nuts one flat at a time. It can be frustrating at first. Just try to relax and stay with it and it eventually becomes pretty easy once you get in the zone. ;-)

I did it! Was alot easier than I thought.. just a lines width towards the passenger fender. Sucks the timing kits are so expensive..
