Can't get the *&!$* tranny bolts loose...

[crazeetxn]

So the "freeze" plug behind the motor mount is rusted through and another is about to go. I figured I'd just pull them motor, slap some new ones in, and be done with it.

After about 3 hours or so last night, I was ready to go. Got under the truck to loosen the tranny bolts and that's when the fun started. THEY WON'T LOOSEN UP!!

I got the bottom one on the driver's side done, but the one right above it ain't happening. I tried 1/2" impact with 3/8" extension, universal and socket, and nothing. I was able to get my rachet and socket by itself in there, but there's no room for leverage.

It's a 700r4 sittin behind a 350. I had the tranny rebuilt about 6 months ago and I think the shop used epoxy (just kidding) or something to keep the bolts in. It's driving me nuts.

If I can't get it loose tonight, I'm going to see about removing the bolt on the cross-member and seein how far I can pull it up. Maybe it'll be enough to let me get at the plugs.

Not unless ya'll have some suggestions?!?

Thanks...
