So I've been searching the forms and have yet to locate the info I need. What is the trick to remove the upper right bolt? I'm beginning to think I could R&R the engine faster. Thanks

Yes. I got the three bolts off. Do you get at the fourth from the top or bottom? What combination of tools are needed?

Thanks

I think I used a 3/8 universal and an extension. I might have used a 1/4 inch deep socket and a 1/4 to 3/8 adapter. I don't recall exactly but I do remember coming up with some weird combination to get a socket on it.

I searched thru my photos and found an image of what I used. I don't have anyway to upload it, but a description should suffice.

1/4 inch drive, two 8 inch extensions and a 4 inch extension with a 1/4 inch universal joint and socket.

Is this done from top or bottom. Thanks

I’ve done all of them from the top. I use a 3/8” deep socket with a 3/8” 4” long extension. Haven’t ever had issue
