You cannot get to the top 2 inverted torx bolts on the bell housing without doing so. Belly pan is too big and there is not enough room.

This is 4.0 swap #12 for me, and I never ran into this before. Then again, this is my first swap with a TNT y-link.

^^This my good friends, is why I make the center of my crossmember removable!!! Could have saved hours not dropping the suspension.
