140hp compared to the optional 2.4L 172hp model. My parents' '06 HHR LT2

their '01 PT Cruiser had, but the support and firmness of the rear sea

Alex,
Do what Mitch said for the AT lines - 2 wrenches are mandatory - don;t
forget you will have to remove & replace the oil cooler as well. It's very
easy to damage the connections for the oil lines - 2 wrenches are also
necessary and hard to work with in the small space.
Good luck -
Invest in a set of good quality flare nut wrenches.
Best money you'll ever spend when it comes to removing
and installing lines of any sort.
