Juice im up like keef said then get a lever onto it. Expand Well, it looks like I won't be able to do the subframe, as I don't have a long enough socket nor a spanner the right size.

Joenash85 Member 58 Member For: 4y 9m 30d Posted 03/09/22 06:31 AM Author Share Posted 03/09/22 06:31 AM I got a 24mm deep impact socket, and the front pin is like 10mm too long, so my socket is too short, and the spanners I have are 21, than 25, no 24mm spanner Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/96788-fg-sump-removal/page/2/#findComment-1714233 Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you get to the point of wrecking the head of a bolt or marring a nut, ease off and rethink your approach.
