My bolts were also on tight. This might sound strange, however, I had to use my leg on a cheater bar instead of my arm to finally get the bolt loose. Just be careful not to strip it

well i got the driveshaft bolts out finally had to put it in gear and use a 3/8 ratchet with small extention and a breaker bar...worked like a dream all the other bolts are loose and I will drop it out in the morning.

The top starter bolt on mine was only hand tight and not all the way in so i just unscrewed it(lucky me) someone must have had to take it out before.

I am doing all the work by myself because I cant find anyone to help me due to conflicting schedules. But I should have the new one in tomorrow before I go to work.

Not too bad of a job to do but it really blows doing it on jackstands in a rock driveway
