get a screw out set, one of those reverse drill bit lookin dealys or you could tap the hole for a reverse thread, screw in a reverse bolt and tighten it till the brass peice comes out

Thats what you get for not using a tuner toys block fitting go to a local auto store and buy a easy out set and see if that will work for you.

and now trying to save $24 on a tuner toy fitting ends up costing more in time wasted..........

it is always just easier to buy the stevemode kit to begin with

Guy #1 - Hey, I need some help with this thing I bought.

Guy #2 - Dude, you should have bought this other thing.

If there was a guy #3, I'm sure he'd ask wtf the answer was.

guy #4: you can get that fitting for $20 shipped at stealth mode performance.

but back to the problem at hand; is the any little bit of brass T left sticking out of the block? you might be able to turn it out using a pair of vice grips. I'd imagine it'd be impossible to fit a by the block to drill that thing out.

you can tap the inside of the brass fitting then put some JB weld on a bolt and screw it in, let it harden and back it out.

Man this place is turning into Honda-Tech where instead of helping the guy out everyone just tells him to buy some expensive parts HMT is forgetting its ghetto roots...
