I'm sure Bill will be by later today to clear it up for you. Dude can smell which bolt you're talking about. He knows its chemical composition and how many threads it has. He knows which plant made it, and where the raw materials were mined. He once met the guy that designed the bolt and the guy bought Bill's drink. He has a shadow box containing that bolt on a wall in his garage, to match his silk boxers printed with the serial number of it.

Get the diff to engine bracket out of the way

Here's the one you are looking for.

I was going to post it before lunch then saw you probably had it. Coming up

PS, if you need any other "helpful pics" the password is Boosted or Boost. I forget. It's one of them with a capital B though.

did you remove the 3 bolts on the TC? then you put just a little pressure on the hoist to support the motor and push it away from the trans to separate
