The Stovebolt Site Forums The Shop Area General Truck Talk Here's a stupid one...

Thanks for the ideas, everybody.
Yes, the socket is stuck on the bolt because there isn't enough clearance to get the wrench off. The bolt is tightened all the way, and the clutch is in the way. The tranny was all the way off, and I couldn't get it off. I've tried rotating the engine, and got pretty close, but no dice.

I think I'll either just have to try to get the bell housing off, or break the socket. If I break the socket, I get another for free from Sears. If I remove the bell housing, I have to go buy another ratchet and socket to do it, because mine are stuck on the derned bolt!
