1st off if your going to use a swivel for that use a 1/2" drive set and swivel so you can get down on your socket wrench..

On my car I do believe I jacked up on the belll housing a little bit and got in there with a box end wrench. And bring some mussle with that box wrench. Just pull pull pull rest and pull some more it gives eventually. PB Fabulous a penetrating oil works very well for siezed bolts. Spray it on and wait 30 seconds to a minute and it breaks free.

I've actually heard a lot of complaints about the BBK x, too.

At the same time I've heard a bunch of people say that they love theirs.

I used like a 12" extension, a swivel, then a 7" extension and it worked just fine. I used plenty of spray and an impact so that might have helped. I don't think I even had it a foot in the air as I could barely move around under it.
