Car was damaged on the drivers side rear drive train before I got the car, I pulled and painted the lower rocker panel. New drive axle is in place so it must of been a good smack to the under carriage.

Just a quick FYI. Two of my header bolts broke off and ended up being an absolute nightmare and a common one. I bought every single bolt releaser there is and ended up towing the car to a machine shop. The headers are sweat though. I went with ebay units and they worked great. Lined up perfectly

Use hand impact to help loosen bolts.
Then use breaker bar to undo bolts, then remove flywheel.
