about a meter worth of extensions with a uni joint on the end has always worked for me.

A couple of uni joints might be handy - one directly on the 19mm socket, and one between the extensions worked well for me.alfy wrote: FordFairmont wrote: get someone to tilt the motor back with a piece of timber with leverage off the front of the block? just tried that and it bent the top of the radiator The passenger side uppermost bolt will need access this way - the driver side uppermost one can be reached pretty easy in the engine bay with a ring spanner if you jack the transmission up against the tunnel, if you can't get to it with the transmission lowered.

Drop the CAT pipe off. It lets the engine tilt further, so you can get the top bolts. You will need about a metre of extenions ( 1/2" drive) and 1 uni-joint and a 19mm socket.
Done hundreds like that.

i've found putting a bottle jack under that he-uge casting that bolts onto the block for the alternator and lifting the front up very handy. with a 5spd but same theory would apply to the auto. also you need the meters worth of extensions n uni's

The exhaust mounts to the gearbox rear are different with the T5 and the BTR auto as well.

yeah i had trouble but i just used extensions with a uni joint and rp7
first thing i did though was brake the sill by going the oppisite direction of undoing them then i just used all my energy and undid them slipped both times and cut my hands open but in the end they went off. its easier with the manual i just took the gear box of the bell housing and i had a lot more room to remove the bell housing
