[QUOTE="TimKonaGT500, post: 16095145, member: 155728"] I just did this the last couple of weeks. Doing it on my back with not a lot of extra clearance. Here is what I have learned in case anyone else actualy uses the search in the future..... SK tools makes a very long extension 1/2" drive down to 3/8", I also used SK swivel impact short socket 13mm 3/8" drive. That helped TREMENDOUSLY in reaching the top bolts. I had a 1/2" drive 13mm socket and 1/2" impact swivel, but the socket was too thick to really seat well on the bolts. I didn't want to strip them. Unbolt the transmission crossmember and let it drop, You can then snake that in and hit the two uppers without having to put a lot of extnesions together. Those bolts were on tight!! I hammered them for a long while with both my old IR air impact and my new Dewalt Battery one (both 1/2: drive). I even managed to break the socket (side wall of socket) on one of the side bolts. Drop the trans crossmember and do the top bolts first... then you can support with trans jack and take the rest out. Be careful when you put it back together that the o2 sensor sockets don't end up in the bellhousing. %$@*&$^&%&$ [/QUOTE]
