What was the best way to go about it in your opinon? i took off the front clip and im trying to get it out without the tranny is this the best method and if so howd you get the top bolts out of the bellhousing?

really long extensions for the top bolts. they are 12 pts as well. alot of wiggle and pulling shell come out.

If you drop the tranny crossmember, those top two bolts are a little easier to get to. Like agoldxj said, you will need an extension and I also used a swivel socket as well.
