TXRazor: I'll tell you this much, the middle two bellhousing bolts are tough! You can get all the lowers easy (infact, everything but those two bolts weren't any issue at all), the two top most bolts not too bad once the upper intake is off, but the middle two bolts...man, I had to leave those for last, lift the engine slightly, unbolt the motor mounts from the engine block, then lower the engine back down (until the front of the oil pan just rested on the front axle) to open up a gap between the bellhousing and the firewall. Then you can get both of those bolts from up top easy (standard 17mm wrench on the pass side, and a 3/8" ratchet with shallow 17mm socket and a pipe over the handle for the drivers one). In fact, leave the four top bell housing bolts for the lift-lower manuveur and you won't be cussing like a truck driver or snapping your universal joint into pieces. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/lol.gif" alt="" />
