Phew.

I went out at 9:00 AM and just plopped my butt down after a shower and it is 4:00PM. I found the magic tool I needed. It is a ratchet, and a 15 mm short socket. The ratchet is real thin profile, and the socket is a lot shorter than the ones I had. It fit right into position, and off came that bolt. Then the only thing holding the bracket on was the air conditioner bottom bracket. There is one nut that is hidden, and after I loosened it, I could pry and wiggle the engine mount bracket out of place. I spent a while just cleaning up the leaky messy area. I painted the bracket since it was a little paint worn.

Tomorrow I get to put in the seal, and the o-ring for the intermediate shaft. It is the ultimate "while yer in there" as the o-ring is a couple of bucks, and it is just two 10 mm bolts that are right in front. It is a 60 second swap after all the other crap is out of the way.

It is 97 degrees, 51% humidity, and 113 heat index outside. My garage AC did a pretty good job of keeping me cool. When I went to get tools I took the Elky of course. I left it sitting in the parking area outside. No way was I bringing that massive heat source into the garage. Well, I did after I was done.
