off the engine that is. I don't take nuthin to the shop, and my car has no tranny in it. I am tempted to cut them off and buy racing beat steels. Cept I have no more money left!

Ah, the one on the front cover. You need two wrenchs. I do not remeber the size. However, one wrench will go on the left side to hold the fitting in place and the second you will torque on.

I had to have one of my friends hold that one wrench on the left. I had to stand on the other. I was like dude, this is gonna go and your hand is gonna hurt. He is like....i know. Of course it let go and he hurt his hand but we got it lose!
