e-shaft oil jet removal?
Im trying to remove the 2 oil jet screws on the e-shaft as was instructed in the rebuild video but they wont budge at all. Is there some kind of special screwdriver I need to do this?

no just use the best fitting one, you can apply some heat and rap a few times with a hammer on the back of the screwdriver to set the screwdriver. some pressure in the wrong direction can be used sometimes to loosen up tight fasteners of any kind.

use the thickest flat head screw driver u can fit on the grooves and turn em as hard as u can. i used a adjustable driver and experimented wid many adapters, but after using the bigest one, they came out pretty easily.
make sure u push and turn the screw driver so u wont strip the grooves.
mine are a lil chipped but its all good

Heating the oil jets up red hot isn't something I'd recommend. What kind of localized warping or changes to the heat treatment does that induce?

I agree dont heat them that hot I was saying use a little heat but I like the impact driver idea, hadnt thought of that. You may also want to have someone hold the shaft when you are trying to do this.

I used heat but was also concerned about it possibly damageing something. So I used the concentrated heat from my TIG torch. Just strike an arc on either side of the screwdriver slot. Feather the peddle to hold a very small puddle. A few seconds of this and they came right out.

Damn. I can't believe the heat some people want to put on that shaft. I wouldn't place direct flame or weld on or near that. There is absolutely no reason. Not to mention changes your doing to the metal. Screwdriver impact or proper sized driver is all you need. I have gripped the screwdiver with channel locks or vise grips to turn it if you don't have access to an impact driver. but like tinvestor said make sure you have someone hold it.
