Holy **** finally i wrapped everything up yesterday after a week of hell.I dont wish this install on my worst enemy there is just zero room to turn a wrench or for that matter fit the socket on.Soooo I had to learn how to remove the mani because of a marred bolt that i had to eventually cut and drill out and after breaking 4 titanium bits because the steel had hardend, brought the mani to my friends shop to spend 30 min with his drill press trying to drill out 1/16 of an inch of hardend steel.One peice of advice is remove the studs first chance you get and on the passenger side get your local midget some beers to do that side.Video incoming at 11...

What year is your car and how many miles are are on it? Just wondering how this turned into such a disaster. I hope I dont run into this.

2015 19k.Its just the sockets wont sit straight so the nuts get seized/cross theaded or mess up the head of the bolt like mine.If you do do it break the nuts just barley then go for the stud or you will spend hours cussing,bleeding and throwing stuff.If you need any more advice on what to do like lifting the motor which turned out easy or what not to do pm me your fingers will thank me.
