Yeah. Lately arthritis is holding me back... I just figure out ways to get around the problem...

Uh huh… Both hands are like this. Twisted and crossing each other. Loads of fun, lemme tell ya…

haven't gotten to bell housing bolts yet. it's on today's agenda. the center support bolts took forever. I plan to instead them head side down on assembly.

drive shaft is out. came out pretty clean actually. does this center support need to be replaced?

ok y'all. i finally reached the bell housing bolts. all were pretty easy except the very top bolt on the passenger side. I've got the goofiest looking connection of swivel and rocker attachment but still can't figure it out. do you come from behind or down from the top and try to make the turn?

I've gotten them from up top in the engine bay.

A tip for standard swivel sockets is to try and keep them as straight as possible. Also remove and rotate the socket a quarter turn on the extension if it's trying to fold as you loosen the bolt.

I really like using the swivel extensions. The male end is rounded and allows any socket to swivel around

A trick to keep u-joints from flopping... Use an o-ring or two on the joint.
