Looking at your picposter, what hit your A8? Looks like it was hit pretty hard.

IIRC, there's a ginormous socket required.

Default same as PaulA8 but for the 36mm socket you need a 1/2 drive torque wrech 10-150lbs
also you will need a 5 inch extension. you need to torque the filter housing to I think 18 lbs. and you also need a flat head and a stubby philips to remove the air dam.
