I used some hex-head screws from the ACV instead of re-using the philips head ones. If you are re-installing your ACV, then pick some up at the hardware store. Then I used a ratchet with a 2" extension. Make sure you don't tighten one screw and then start the other. As always, get all your screws started by just a few threads and then tighten them all a little at a time.

I used a spring washer and a regular S/S washer. I doubt the FPD could ever come loose, but I put the washers on there to make sure the screws don't bottom out in the screw hole.

Did you get it on?
