How to remove bell housing bolts on trans?
So I've drained the trans, removed the y-pipe and all exhaust leading up. I've removed the drive shaft and numerous wire connectors and wire harness mounts. Trying to reach as much of the plastic connectors as possible to salvage and reuse the wiring harness. Those damn connectors are harder to unhook than any bolt I've come across so far. Haha
I'm now to the point where I am almost ready to remove the old trans. The only thing really keeping it in place is the cross member which is easily removed, and the bell housing bolts, which are not easily removed. Not even easily accessed. There are bolts even at the very top of the trans..how in the hell am I supposed to reach those? Is there a special tool? So twisting turning magic socket? Any help is appreciated!
