yep that'll do it. its how i pulled mine.

 

[Dr. Dooms]

yup a long ass extension,swivel,socket,and muscle..or an impact gun
i <3 my impact gun

 

[al0389]

Impact gun FTW!!!

impact on 3ft extension w\ snap on swivel 14mm. loosen engine mounts and pretty much let the transmission hang in place. Carefull you dont damage anything in the engine bay in the process of letting everything hang.

 

[BILLFISHER21]

no need to loosen engine mounts just use extensions and 14mm swivel and 1/2 impact. work no problem gotta change my tranny 2morrow.

or do them from up top thats how i do it

fuck the 3 foot extension and get a 5 foot extension. i hate universals. they never worked for me.

i did it yesterday theres only 1 bastard bolt above the starter but you can get it with a wrench. did u jack up the crank pully?

 

[89Hatch240sx]

lol the way i do it is i just pull the entire motor and do the damn thing on the ground... then pop it back in... better than laying on you back.

A snap on swivel socket limits angle to 45 degrees so you can still apply torque to the fastener with out going around in circles. Plus they are impact safe.

Should be able to get to all of them. the only ones you'll have trouble with is the top ones right behind the motor. Theres two tricky ones. The intake manifold side should be cake.
17mm and 14mm starter bolts.

 

[Ricky Cash]

there are a couple of hoeses in the way , just force you hand to fit or go from underneath, it isn't hard, that how i've done it
