Carl,
Having just BTDT, I can add a few observations. Do whatever you want to do
to the rear bolts/nuts. Be very careful with the front ones. The heads of the
bolts go through the flange on the transmission shaft and are not easily
replaced. I ended up using a set of needle-nose vice grips to get the front
nuts to break loose after a lot of spraying with PB Blaster. The nuts should be
lock nuts. Good luck.
