i just use a 3 or 4 inch extension and a air ratchet... i have done it by hand b4 and it took like 10 min to take it out... it's not that hard, most people try to look for a short cut or an easier way and they end up making it harder on them self.... thats one of the first thing u learn here at school is no not waist time finding an easier way to do things, the first way you see to do it is usualy the fastest
make sure you disconnect the battery too.
I usually just take out the bolts and let it down a bit, and then take off the wires, the bolt on my wires was a 3/8
Just yank the engine and do it then... worked for me
It's easy, no worries
you cant yank the engine then do it unless u pull the engine and tranny together because the bellhousing has a plate sandwiched inbetween the motor and it the flywheel will hold on to it from one side and the starter bolts from the other so no dice
