remove the transmission mount and allow the tail weight of the trans to tilt the engine down in the rear.

I have the mount out and the transmission down. I still can't see it? I went in with a 3' extention and tried to get it from the tail of the transmission but it won't go pass the hump in the bell housing? Believe me I have tried every thing today!

push the trans up with a floor jack and see if you can get a wrench on the bolt from the top from the exhuast side. when doing it from underneath and the trans sagging you still need to use a universal socket to get on it and you have to use an angle that if you were to draw a straight line from the bolt to the speedo pick up.
