sunshineking: #10 is a bugger. I broke 2 sockets (Proto & Craftsman) taking #10 out last time. Used a 2x4 between the breaker bar and the fire wall to hold the bar & extension vertical over the bolt head.
To torque and tighten the extra 90 degree turns I got help from my 20 yr old son. Didn't play with the engine angle. We made a slot in a piece of wood that accepted the top of the breaker bar; then he pushed down on the wood as I turned the bar & watched the dial gauge for the correct angle. We were not able to do the last 90 degrees in one continuous turn - ended up doing it in about 30 degree turns which is poor technique.
After 2 years she still seems OK. I really dislike working on aluminum engines!
Best of luck.
