It looks like a very tight space back their. I could barely get my hand behind the engine. How do i get a better grip on that nut?

Here's a crazy idea. Have you tried Paul Grant or Marty(Drillbit)Powell to see how much they want for one? The price might not be that much higher than the JY and it would save a lot of assing around.

Well, that would be too easy! No war story, no bloody knuckles, and no ruined clothes... Where is the fun in that!

Wow, 32 whole posts and you're already smack LOL.
Based upon your post count and the type of question you were asking I went out on a limb and figured you didn't know about RELIABLE parts sources like Paul Grant and Marty Powell. Based upon your dealings on Ebay I'd say I was correct. You go ahead and keep dealing with shady sellers on Fleabay and overpaying because you definitely don't want to listen to me.
I already offered my advice, go back and re-read post #8.

Oh, and lighten up Francis.

Again, not everybody, especially newbies, are aware of such used parts sellers. No need for you to be douchey about it.

You guys might want to take your own advice.

Riiiiiight. Because you weren't the one that got all pissy when I suggested you try a parts guy before going through the utter pain in the ***** that it is to remove the trans pan.

Like I said, use a Sawzall to get rid of that crossmember.
