Well I can work on those bolts once the engine AND bellhousing are out. I'l be able to use any wrench that I want after that....and I now have a large variety of 19mm wrenches, as well as the "bolt-outs" for stripped bolts.
Then again, why should I even both with those bolts if I don't need to?

Have fun with those!!
BTDT-> Those cool looking devices are WORTHLESS! Let me explain: You have a bolt that is so tight that your wrench rounds off the corners and ruins the fastener, now you take your mean *** looking bolt-out tool and complete the destruction of the bolt but it is still tight and in place, and you end up drilling it out anyway. <-BTDT

The only stuff left to do before the engine comes out are the motor mount bolts, the power steering lines and the wiring in the fuse panel (per the WSM)...and Dremel off that last exhaust bolt.
