Any tricks for removing the pull start housing?

[Snowbird11]

I'm having a hard time accessing the bottom two allen bolts on the pull start recoil housing. I search here but must be using the wrong key words. Does anyone have a tip or good tool to access these? I'm looking to replace with the pink cord that 4Z carries so i don't have to bother with this again. After a couple good seasons on my dragon the pink rope looks a little dirty but brand new otherwise.

Thanks for any ideas in advance

Remove the 2 motor mount bolts and use a pry bar to lift it up so you can get access

so after some messing around with different ratchets and my allen sockets, i found the right length combo to get the lower 2 bolts about 10 turns off. after that i was able to spin them off by hand.

it may have been easier to pull the motor mounts but me being new to the pro, i didn't know all the tricks. I wasn't sure how to realign the clutches since there doesn't seem to be any wiggle room like on my old IQ.

In the past, some folks used to leave one or two lower bolts out of the recoil housing on the old IQ's. I never did before but am now considering it. Has anyone here done this? How'd it work out for you?
