It's been several years since i had mine off.

IIRC the long bolts do NOT have to be completely removed from the TL motor. Just remove the nuts. Slide the bolts out of the motor just maybe 1/2 inch.

TO REMove the difficult nut:

Use a screw driver or other similar tool to wedge between the NUT and the body of the TL unit housing and then turn the bolt on the rear end of the TL motor with a wrench or something. NOTE that the screw driver blade must be positioned from the correct side to scotch the nut or else the screw driver will simply be pusheed away.

Clarification:

Place the screw driver blade PERPINDIULAR to the long bolt and push the tip of screwssriver in BETWEEN the nut and the TL housing. DO NOT DRIVE IT IN. Just hold it there by hand. In effect what this creates is a a kind of a "stay" or a "stop" for ONE of the flat sides of the hex nut. BUT IT MUST be positioned from the correct side. Only 2wo such sides.

For removal of the nut:

With screwscrew driver HANDLE closest to drivers side rocker panel and perpindicular to the long bolt of the TL motor then push the blade between the flat side of nut and TL housing. Now turn the TL motor bolt head at the rear end of the motor with a wrench.


NOTE that there are OPEN END wrenches readily available at any tool or parts store with the open end setting at close to perpindicular to the wrench handle. Don;t remeber the correct name for such wrenches.
