[QUOTE="SilverGT1, post: 16511590, member: 186800"] Yes. Everything out. K-member, starter, motor mount. I am actually working on this this right now. What I ended up doing was pulling the motor to the driver side with a ratcheting strap . Then removed my JLT CAI. Pain in the butt because of my MM strut brace which had to come out. Moved my SC coolant lines out of the way. Then I was able to get at it. Then I McGyvered a tool so that I could get some torque on the nut. I took a 13mm and found a nut/bolt combo that would take a 15mm. Placed that through the box end. This allowed me to get in there and get it very tight. I am very worried about the gaskets that BBK provided. I wish I would have bought some of the metal stock ones. Also, since there is not direct access to most of the nut / bolts, there is no way to evenly torque these. I am torqueing until super tight. Probably killing the fiber gasket. These were a waste of money. I thought install would be muck easier. Driver side was not much better.
