when I went to drop the trans mission on my jeep I lowered the cross member and used about two feet of extensions to get a better line on the bolts I used like a 12mm or 13mm 32 star socket cause I didnt have my e sockets and then replaced the two bolts with hex heads when I went to put the transmission back in. this step a lone alows me to pull my transmission in around 30mins give or take 15mins if I have extra hands.

I just pulled my motor out and there was some trouble with those 2 external torx bits on top of the bell housing. I got a universal joint, not a swivel and ran about 4 feet of extensions down the transmission tunnel. I had someone up top guiding me on the two bolts and they came out that way. I was in your shoes with pulling the trans. with the engine but I knew there was a way! Give that a try...

Man.. what a ***** those things are. You'd think they would have had some sort of pop out grommet in the firewall to access them, but nooooooooo...

Even more frustrating is that you had them out just a few days ago, so they were easy to remove... once you could get to them.

Now it's time to slap that baby back together.

Go buy a boat, and you can use the block as an anchor.
