      Finished. Went a different route. I took out the battery tray which left me enough room to access top and bottom screws from the top of the engine. Getting the hose off took the most time. Even using piks. Just took pressure and time, as they say in Shawshank. One thing I realized was that the little circular palm socket I got was not gonna work. Not enough leverage to crack the screw. I had bought a small ratchet but the damn holes were square. The torx bit wouldn’t fit. Ran over to harbor freight and got a pack of stubby ratchets. Those barely worked but did the job. If you’re going to do this swap, get one of the small ratchets like in this video. What a pain in the ass repair. Jeep can kiss my entire ass for this design.

    You might consider using a Factor55 Flatlink for a couple of reasons. First, you will protect more of your winch line because you can wind all of the line on to the drum. Second, being a closed system, the F55 won't break like a hook can. When that happens with a hook, you could end up with an extremely dangerous situation.
