I was really cursing Chevy engineers for not putting studs on the firewall for the hydro boost.

I have a 96, and I remember I did use a 1/4" air ratchet. Removing the clip on the shaft to the pedal was fun also.

I was able to break the nut in question lose with a 1/4 15mm but could not get anything on the top right nut. I gave up. My right hand was bruised and battered. The stealership charged about a grand. The part runs about $250 so they bent me over on labor. I am out of town so I haven't picked it up yet. I had them swap the steering shaft, steering shaft bearing and the #8 spark plug while they had it. $1248 total. They informed me that I needed a pitman and idler arm replacement but wanted close to $700 including alignment. I will do that one myself, I have a lifetime firestone alignment anyway.
