Torx bolt removal



Here's what I did.. About 4 or 5 long extensions, a U joint adapter, and alot
of patience!  If you are removing the tranny, take the fan off the front of
the engine ( it will hit the radiator otherwise) and remove the tranny mounts
( put a jack under the tranny and lower it as far as you can, it will tilt on
the engine mounts), that should make the top bolt easier.  After Tilted down
you should have about 4 feet of extension and the ratchet should be behind the
back of the tranny, use your Jedi skills to get the Torx driver on the bolt,
while holding the extension still and turning the ratchet!!  Like Mr. Miagi
(sp?) says: Patience Danielson!! Hope that helps!
