Default doing tranny fluid , coolant etc 99 xk8

Hi all

Well the car is level on jack stands
got everything I need ( famous last words)
Doing trans fluid,filter, coolant, front coolant hoses,and greasing half shafts. Tks to the forum and rev sam video I should be good to go. The pan itty bitty torx screws seem good as I loosened a couple so cross my fingers there all that easy. Going to drain and fill run car and drain and drop pan. Decided on castrol import atf. And researched the coolant. If I come across anything ( issue ) that has not been mentioned will add. When I get clean and sane in a couple of days will tell all how it went. The only thing I want to do but will wait till the end of the season is the diff fluid as I believe this is a sealed for death item as well. That one looks tricky

Try to break all of the bolts free first before removing them, if any feel like, or even shear off, you will have to run and get some new bolts from the dealer before moving on.
