Fuck the 3/8" not enough torque, go right for the IR 1/2" titanium

they should be pretty tight on there…a 10mm wrench is what i use on these, only it is an extended 10 so you can get some ass into it.

my friend can do it in 45 min. but he was one of my gm techs. make sure u change the oil pump drive seal(o-ring) while u have it apart.
overall its not that hard if u stay organized while u take it apart.
AND DEF. MAKE IT A POINT TO CHANGE THE OIL!!!

he isn’t lying. it’s just a horirble design by gm. if it has a 3.1/3.4 it will leak at some point and even after it’s fixed it will do it again.
