the torx fasteners are tough to get at. I use a 1/4 in rachet with the torx bit . I have a full kit of these torx bits forget what size . why buy one ?
since you live in the rust belt you must have at all times penitrating oil. wash and wire brush the area , that needs to be worked on if rusted dirty ,then spray these oils on your work fasteners . may take a week of oil application to work into the metal.
when these are removed then use a small amount of anti seize paste on these torx threads. next time it will be no big deal.
the pan gasket should be the reuasable type/rubber then torque to 7 ft lbs . then re torque after a few days . with this gasket I so far have reused this 4X.
many have messed up the connections to the solenoids with the pan install/removal so drop straight down ..
remember to use the new GM dexron VI . do not use any dexron III this product wil damage your transmission..
WD-40 IS NOT PENITRATING OIL !
