Boxburn --- ugggg... that thing was a pain enough without extra stuff in the way. How did you get it - underneath with a lot of swearing and beer breaks?
I think I was underneath pushing the ratchet as hard as I could into the adapter and my dad was up top doing the turning.Originally Posted by PatHenry

You just get a ratchet style t60 that has a pressed in bit, put it a vise and smack the bit out. Ounce the bit is out slip a 12mm wrench over it and use a cheater bar to crack it loose. Might be easier with a warm engine cause there is prolly loc-tite. I had to stand with one foot on top of the tire and the other foot on top of my bumper to crack it loose.
After spending 3 hours last night trying to break it loose, heat and pb blaster today helped it out
