I was going to button the car back up and drop her back off the stands in order to get some mileage on my clutch so after the turbo I can give her hell.

However, after seeing how easy the demon bolts were to get at with the tranny out of the way I decided to just take my cats off and let her sit as a statue until I install the kit. I pre-soaked the bolts with PB blaster overnight and attacked them the next morning.

I have NO idea how guys are doing this with having such a limited space. I do only have 10k on my car but its an 09 so 5 years of corrosion contributed to the demonicizing.

HERE IS WHAT HAPPENED!! Yup that's not 1 but 2 broken sockets. Had to go get an HD set with the thick sidewalls. These are craftsmen too with a lifetime warranty.
