What is the best way to remove and install the automatic bell housing bolts on a 94 sonoma 4X4 4.3. When i went to remove the engine, the previous mechanic did not install 4 of the six bolts as they are very difficult if not impossible to remove. I have to laugh at Haynes, they only say remove bell housing bolts.

remove the driveshaft.support the tranny with a jack.remove the cross support.then when you let the jack down the tranny will hang down so you can axcess those bolts with a long ext.and a swivel socket.you need to get the bolts at the boneyard.
