you could also have a really rotten rear transmission mount, or even a flex disk failure...
get under your car and REALLY look everything over!

Could a bad flex disk cause the grinding gear?
With the bolt, I had a look on harbor freight but could only see two things that maybe of use, either a crowfoot socket or an s type wrench.
The exhaust manifold is only an inch or so above it so I can't get a normal 17mm socket with uni joint in there. I purchased a stubbie combination spanner but it's in too hard a place to get any weight behind it.
