I have a st204 standard transmission. Planning on changing my fluid to Pennzoil synchromesh to see if it'll help out on the 3rd gear grind. Now I know that they're 24mm nuts and I have the wrench and socket for it. The only problem I have is trying to break them loose. Them nuts are just so skinny and flat and big that it's so easy to strip them. Also they're in a hard angle too. Anyone have any ideas or tricks?

When you manage to take it out, get a M18x1.5 bolt with a better head for easier removal next time. You should be able to find them at Pepboys, Napa, Advance Auto Parts and Autozone in the bolts/washers/fittings/pcv valves/etc section.
The way I did it was as somebody mentioned above. I held the ratchet against the bolt with one hand from the top of the car for the fill plug. I used a long 24mm socket though. This post has been edited by Syaoran: Mar 26, 2013 - 12:58 AM -------------------- 1993 Celica GT Coupe - sold
