What size socket is the bottom bolt? 14 seems like it is slightly loose. I cant find my 5/8 socket to try. Also have a problem getting a 1/2 inch drive ratchet in there and being so tight I dont think 3/8 ratchet will break it loose.
Any advice on breaking it loose? I wish I had air ratchet to use.

It's definitely 14mm, as I had mine off last weekend to install my supercharger. I used a 3/8" ratchet with a piece of pipe on the handle for more leverage.
