Did you guys break alot of tools while working on your swap? Cuz i just broke a craftsman adapter, with a 19mm socket attached to it trying to free the crossmember of my car! I jsut bought it ten minutes prior! Can never trust any tools i guess
 ...it was like a $10.00 adapter too..they better replace it.Bigal I also broke three ratchets trying to free this same bolt...now i am using a breaker bar on it..show him whos boss!!

the problem is that you are using an adaptor. you should be using 1/2in wrench and stockets on bolts that big.
