Also you can remove the driver side motor mount and jack the engine up/down a little to get more clearance.

I dont know what socket you guys are using but i am almost positive mine wont fit.

There isnt enough room to clear the nut and fit the socket over it.

This is from the top and the bottom.

I've also used a 12 point wrench and hit it with a mallet to break the bolt loose...
