Dang it guys, you forgot ONE major essential... PLENTY OF BEER!!! No but seriously be careful, take it slow, and make sure that you have a good jack that can jack up quickly... I had to use one that moved about 2 mm per pump and it totally sucked... Also as everyone has said the swivel sockets or a universal... Maybe consider an impact but make sure that it's seated well and use the squeeze and release method... Goodluck... I'm stabbing mine in today after having to pull mine out yesterday (th400) and cut the bellhousing off for the JW... I did it by myself but it totally blew..
