However, there was another guy on this forum who had the exact opposite experience than I did. I believe he ended up cutting an opening into the K frame, in order to get the bolt out, and back in. Hopefully that does not happen with your Aveo!
I have another question i have looked at many things on the net, which is the best way to go about getting the front bolt that has the transmission in the way..Do you jack it up far enough to get the bolt out or do you have to loosen the bolt on the transmission to get it out? i have read you can do it either way. just dont know which way is best...
