And lastly, Napa sells Chilton repair manuals for 21 bucks, thats 21 bucks well spent, its a great reference and you need torque specs to do a lot of jobs. Good luck

I paid 25 for my Haynes at AutoZone. It's extremely helpful, but I wish I would've got the Chilton instead... Either way though, having one or the other is a necessity.

Use a pry bar to free up the axle. Make sure you don't puncture the seal in the transmission when you do this.

Didn't read the whole post at first, to remove the bracket from the block you remove the 2 either 12mm or 14mm bolts (pretty sure they are 12mm). Reach behind with a rather and possible a small extension and take em on off

When you put your bolts back on, make sure to not mix up the longer bolts with the shorter ones. If you put the longer bolts on the timing belt side you'll shred your belt.
