[QUOTE="3B99SVT, post: 7890608, member: 35689"] OK, I tried from the top w/a 13mm box and put my 1/2" drive 18" BABB on the open end -- nothing. I tried from the bottom using about 2.5' of extension w/a u-joint on the 13mm socket and my BABB. Nothing! Aren't these things supposed to be torqued to 55 ft*lb? I'm guessing either this tranny has never been removed (~95K miles) or someone put lock tight on the bolts. I understand that if a bolt is torqued to 55 ft*lb that it's going to take a lot more to crack the thing loose, but these are ridiculous! I bought some longer bolts for the crossmember so I can remove my jack and still keep the tranny lowered a little. Maybe that'll give me some more movement room to crack these babies tomorrow. Does anyone have any pointers from your experience? [/QUOTE]
