Anyone know any tricks to getting the Turbo drain line bolts started? Spent an hour trying to get the bolts started. Going from underneath with a long extension, but can't get the bolts to catch a thread.

That it long extension and swivel socket and make sure not to cross thread, it’s easier with the updated 06 line since it is flexible.

Well the trick was to get them started with a 1/4 inch socket and what amounted to 3 extensions and a driver handle rather than a ratchet. Once both were started, I switched to a 3/8 drive and 2 long extensions to tighten and torque them from under the Jeep. Not really hard, just got frustrated and had to sleep on it.
