Borrowed a 1/2 in drive 18 socket, swivel and at least 12in extnsion from my boss at work, no breaky. Went to Sears last night and got an 18 box/open end wrench with a slight angle on the box end, have no idea why I didn't have one. Tried it tonight with different attacks and it kept slipping off. Put a wedge of wood between the wrench and the body, tranny hump, from the top. Placed a long heavy iron T handled bar I have on the wrench and rapped it with a small sledge and finally broke it loose. Called a foreign car tech I got the car from and he said they use an S wrench to get the bolt loose, sounds like a wise investment to pick up one of those.. Next step is pulling one in the JY, oh boy.. Thanks all for your help/ideas......... Tom 27940aholic
