I'm pretty sure I've gotten either a wrench or socket on that thing, but you
can always use the 'wedge the screwdriver' method and loosen from the top.
:)  I don't remember it being particularly difficult (tranny out 4 times in
two months... don't ask... :) ).  I do remember I had my brother do the top
portion of the nut/bolt combo on reassembly while I held the bottom, but
removal must have went smooth every time, cause I can't remember details.

Removing the rear bolt on the mounting bracket was a major PITA.  You have
to hold the bolt on the top side of the bracket and the nut on the underside
of the bracket to prevent it from spinning.  Getting at the bolt on the
underside is very akward.  There is not enough clearence for a wrench or a
socket.  Any advice on how to deal with this?
