Thanks
Thank you for the info melsg5 and sorry for the lack of info. It actually was for a 1997 Grand Am GT, so you got it on the money. I was able to get as far as taking off the serpentin belt but i don't have any clearance to even fit a socket and less with the socket on the ratchet. I was wondering if maybe i would need to lower the engine by removing the motor mount or if you had any idea what step to i should take next. Your help is appreciated thank you.
