who have installed Allroad tranny mounts?
I hear they make the job of installing the tranny mounts easier.
Are they short enough?

powdercoating oven in the background? ;)
I have a set of super cheap wrenches that I keep in a drawer that I never use for odd jobs like this. I then cut them up to length/bend them to the shape I need/sacrifice them to the gods, etc.

Anything bigger than stubby and you're going to get frustrated. Really frustrated.

please measure your 12mm and 17mm stubbys so I have a ballpark of what size to get.
Thanks man, and no rush.

offsets work
I used standard offsets to hold the bolt on top with a 1/2 drive for the nut and it worked well.
its a tight fit to get your hands up there but once you feel around and can slip a box end on its not bad.
The passenger side near the AC drain on mine was rusted from the water, that one took some extra effort.
