Re: Finally fixing it
You might get a bit of space if you jack up on the t-case tail.
Otherwise a small 1/4" drive socket with a universal joint will get it.
I have long fingers and can get a box end wrench on that bolt. It's a
bugger for sure.

Re: Finally fixing it
OK, how do I get at the bolt that is closest to the firewall? I can't
get a wrench or socket onto it (too close to firewall). Is there some
sort of trick to it?
