driver side top transmission bolt.. need it out... here's why it's not as simple as oh disconnect everything and pull the transmission out too... I made an engine lift. I was on a budget and got tired of staring at the useless blown motor in my 240 and the fresh s14 ready to drop in.. The tool I used wire... big a s s tree... duct tape to protect the tree... 3/16 teflon coated cable (rated for 400 pounds).. and a pulley from ace hardware (rated for 400 pounds.. here is my problem seeing as how motor alone weighs 317 or 371 or whatev)... how can I get that bolt out .. I'm a huge a** goon with big arms and the firewall is in my way of getting the wrench on it.. I can line up motor and transmission to loosen some but doesn't work since I can't get the wrench all the way on flush... I know this seems retarded so insult me if you wish only if you offer help.. thanks guys

did you dry disconnecting all the mounts and tilting it a bit? that should give you more clearance to remove that bolt. Then put the mount back on and unbolt the bottom bolts
