If you don't have access to an impact gun!

Heres my method, works like a charm. Take a wrench and put it on one of the bolts parallel to the ground and then jack the wrench up with a floor jack while someone is holding the wrench on there with they're thumb. Just make sure when you put them on, tighten them TIGHT! If you dont want to put loc tite back on them, after you tighten them the first time, after a day, go back and re-tighten them again. I made the mistake of skipping the second part one time. Everytime i let off the gas, my car felt like it was coming apart. The bolts had come loose, when i got on the gas the vibration stopped. It was just when i was slowing down it killed me.

Loc-tite is your friend on tranny/driveline parts. the vibrations will rattle any bolt loose
