Reference is not to Some Other Brand...
It is technically a Hex Head Cap Screw, but I have called this one lots of other things.
I got my trans and final drive down.
Several of you suggested that I take the FD and trans down separately. Nice thought.....
Someplace along the line somebody put screws in all the holes.
Look for the circle:

There is NO Fing Way to get that babe out of there. It will only get loose with a box wrench with the whole thing on the floor. (Yes, I tried all the extensions u-joints and floppy extensions and crowfeet and I even borrowed a crowfoot flare nut wrench from a friend and could not get the needed 1/24th of a turn to get it loose enough to do any good.
I asked Manny. Summary - leave it out. The hole was there and someone though it needed it.
It will be out and the trans and final drive will go back in as separate parts.
