Transmission bolts are slightly loosened except for the XZN M10 triple square, which is awaiting its stubby driver from Amazon.

When I went back to autozone those OEM 12 points were gone and seeing how much torque to other bolts took to break free I though the stubby driver was a much better idea rather than risk a fouled bolt.

I'm wondering if I can just remove the rear 4 transmission bracket bolts or do I have to remove the entire rear transmission mounts as well?

I guess since the thing needs to slide back probably need to remove the entire trany mount?
