Im having trouble taking out 3 bolts. I got an extension for the wrench but still no luck. The bolts wont move at all is there any other way i can take those thing out. Im doing a auto to manual swap and those damn bolts are keeping me from continuing the swap any help ...............

so how exactly did you get those top 3 bolts off? did you have to take the intake manifold off to get to those bolts?
