[QUOTE="FJRBluesman, post: 600074, member: 5903"] Silverbear - I saw the GearWrench set at Sears and I thought the box end ring was too thick so I didn't buy it. Make sure the ratcheting wrench you buy has a very thin end on the box end, meaning not a big thick ring which would interfere with the CCT as you experienced. I used that picture from the Sears website because that one did fit on mine no issues. I cracked it loose with my standard box end, then used the ratchet for a bit then the rest easily came out by hand. I also left the upper bolt in after I cracked it loose so I could more easily take out the lower without having pressure form the CCT pushing against the bolt. I modified my original post to state that. BTW - The CCT is the same part number on 2003 - 2005, so you should be able to do this with the tools mentioned. I did it, Iggy did it. If we can do it, anyone can. ;) Good luck. [/QUOTE]
