Don't download the attachment, it's too big, i have to make my picture smaller on the camera somehow. If you click on the thumbnail, it fits in the web browser.

IIRC, you will need an extension to get to some of the bolts, so that you can turn the rathcet.

Put a big *** breaker bar on it and go to town, but I would spray the whole area a few times with WD40 and let it sit overnight.

OK. Good news. I've got the 4 bots off that I can see. There's a 5th bolt up top that I can get my socket onto, but It just wont budge.LOL, when I try to loosen it, the whole motor lifts with it. I don't have enough leverage from underneath, so I took out the rad fan and I can access it from the front of the car, but still won't budge. I'm lettingthe penetrating lube do it's thing as I'm typing, so hopefully it will come loose soon. Sunday I want to spend taking the oil pan off, and getting the crank out and putting the oil pan back on. Yes I did buy a new gasket for it. All this hassel for one F'N bolt on the oil pan. I feel like taking a dremel tool and notching out the bracket soi can take the bolt out without removing the enigine mount.

Hey, finally got the motor mount off and the rest was a piece of cake. Droped the oil pan and knocked out the crank sensor. I put the new one in before I put the pan back on just to make sure it was the right one and didn't interfear with the crank itself. Cleaned up the pan, gasket(gasket was in great shape), and re-installed pan and motor mount. The car has never run smoother, and no stalling...wheeee! I hate the fact that I have a gut wrenching feeling when I'm driving that it's going to stall on me again. Because I went to the store, and when I came out and turned the key on, none of my gauges lit up. I fig. it was the ground, to I played with the ground and sure enough all the lights came on...phew.lol.
