    Step away...good call! When I get to difficult spots like this, I always try to take some time away or even sleep on it. Usually when I come back the next morning I can get right after it with the best solution and all is right with the world again!

    Hope you look into an action camera head strap, camera helmet mount or some sort. Torquing on stuff with one hand is rolling the dice on cutting/cracking up your knuckles, snapping things and or stripping things. I appreciate your hard work to document your “journey”

    Hi Aaron, Recommend that you use an engine crane, as well as a lifting platform. Engine-gearbox are really heavy and don't want to balance very well on a platform. I found that I had to remove the rear bumper to get access to the top rear muffler bracket bolts. Not a difficult job to remove muffler and spoiler. Looking forward to seeing your progress.
