How does everybody torque this bolt? It seems to be.... impossible.....

 

Still? I thought you got it?

What type of problems are you having?

I grabbed like 2 or 3 extensions with the tranny mount unbolted.

 

? You talking about my stripped 700R4 bellhousing bolt? Got that off awhile ago.

I just got this mounted up this morning, almost done with my swap. I can't torque the top passenger bolt that holds the T5 to the bellhousing. There are obstructions in the case casting directly in front of the bolt head that allow a socket to be slipped on, but you can't put any sort of drive, swivel, or extension into the back of the socket because of the obstruction.

 

I got it, sorry for the "panic post".

The trick is to go at it slightly from an above angle, this gets you around the obstruction just enough.
