[Shotimes] Leftover nut after clutch job

[Edward Mazurek]

Hi Ian,

Yes, probably twice the size for the pinch bolt nuts.

This is driving me crazy!

Thanks for the suggestions! All are welcome!

I remember that when I dropped the subframe I didn't have
all the mount bolts out so I started trying to determine
what I missed. I wonder if I could have removed it from
something that I didn't have to? When you have air tools
it all goes by so fast! ;)

Thanks,

Ed
