I have read a lot of threads about removing the dreaded cap screw, to access the Star Wheel. I've read &quot;use an 8mm allen wrench and hit it with a hammer&quot;, &quot;use vice grips&quot;, &quot;use a chisel&quot;? A chisel on the AFC???? [eyecrazy<br><br>So this weekend I looked at mine and here is what I did. A 5/16th hex head, socket driver, which is the same size as an 8mm, with a 6 inch extension and a ratchet takes the plug right out. All 3/8ths drive. Couldn't be easier.<br><br>Also, ran the wheel all the way forward, No smoke, but I run a K&amp;N filter. Does have a bit more pep and spool up is noticeably quicker.<br><br>This method worked on both my trucks.<br><br>Hope this helps some one!

 

i just tapped around the head of it and used my kungfu grip on a 8mm allen wrench. not much smoke either :P

 

Yea, I always heard the smoke could be real big on acceleration, but I got zero and I have the wheel as far forward as it will go. Course, I don't want the smoke either . Although some seem to like it.

 

After I adjusted mine all the way forward there was a noticeable difference in smoke. I also noticed that on takeoff, it seemed to be a little more responsive. <br>Just my .02<br><br>Rich
