    I would have probably just reused my original flexplate unless I had a reason not to, but it cleaned up relatively nicely.

    I had to get a closed end wrench on the bolt, put a strap around the wrench, stand on top of the engine and pull the strap as hard as I could to get it loose

    Yep that’s where I’m at, got my engine out and found the hard way the new one won’t go in unless the trans is out. Or at least disconnected and pushed back a a bit

    Can't forget the starter bolts. ;)

    For me, because I have been in and out of my engine bay sooooooooo many times, some of those wire harness brackets became pesky. They're gone.

    I reach both of the top two 17mm bolts, from the passenger side of the engine bay. Takes some force though, don't get me mistaken.

    The top 2 17mm bolts. I stuck my oldest son with small hands and an extra long ratcheting combination wrench on them. Butter. He was sitting on the engine to get them/
