I'm in the middle of this job right now and FUCK!!! I just want to give up. Can't get any leverage on the E10 bolts at all. First I tried from going in blind from up top and then from the wheel well. I can see the oil cooler and bolts, but can't fucking break it free. I tried using about 4 extensions almost 18 inches long too. I'm scared I will round off on the bolts. This have got to be one of the worse jobs i've done. I've done valve covers, uppper timing covers, valley pan, transfer pipe, etc... I never had this level of frustration until now.
