Loss of an engine

[TomM]

You are 100% correct....you have to remove things and take your time. Removing the baffling (which you have to remove other stuff to get out) lets you at least see the inside nut/stud. I taped the washer to a flexible shaft to be able to get it in there and slip it over the stud. The lock nut was easy enough to stick in a socket with an extension and get that in there - just have to find the right extension combination so that it is a little longer than the mag, but not too long to hit the firewall.....then it is one click on the ratchet at a time as you spend the next 5 min getting the nut to snug up......

With one mag out, the other is much easier to get at - I re-torqued those nuts too.

The alternator looks like it would be super fun to get out of there..........
