Please let us know if you need anything else to get the problem fixed.

If they are the two at the top of the bell housing, I always have used a box end wrench. There was never room for anything other.

1. Remove the transmission.
2. Remove the 2 bolts securing the concentric slave cylinder to the transmission and input shaft.
3. Remove the concentric slave cylinder from the input shaft.

To install:

4. Install the concentric slave cylinder over the transmission input shaft making sure the bleed screw and coupling are properly positioned and install 2 bolts.
5. Tighten the bolts to 80 inch lbs. (9 Nm).
6. Install the transmission.
7. Bleed the clutch hydraulic system.

You'll have to readjust the cable.
Ensure shift tube and lever are free in steering column. To adjust linkage, remove screw and spring washer from swivel. Turn transmission lever clockwise to stop, then counterclockwise 2 detents. This is Neutral position.
Place selector lever in Neutral. Locate proper position using mechanical stops, NOT shift indicator pointer. Hold swivel against shift lever. Install spring washer and screw. Tighten finger tight. Avoid applying force in either direction (along shift rod or lever) while tightening screw to specification

Removal

1. Disconnect negative battery cable. Shift transmission into 3rd or 4th gear. Remove shift lever retainer screws and retainer. Remove 8 shift lever boot mounting screws and boot. Remove shift lever insulator. Remove shift lever. Remove 4 exposed bolts on base of housing, not bolts under rubber boot located at top of housing. Remove insulator from transmission case. Raise and support vehicle. Drain transmission fluid.

2. Mark drive shaft for reassembly reference. Remove drive shaft(s). On 4WD, remove transfer case shield. Drain oil from transfer case. Remove vent hose and electrical connectors. Remove transfer case shift linkage. Using a jack, support transfer case. Remove transfer case and discard transmission adapter gasket.

3. On vehicles equipped with drive shaft parking brake, release parking brake. Raise and support vehicle. Remove nut and washer from center of brake drum. Remove drum yoke assembly, bolts, washers and drum yoke. Remove cotter pin, clevis pin, clevis, and nut from brake cable. Remove parking brake cable grommet, and cable from bracket.

4. On all vehicles, disconnect exhaust pipes from exhaust manifold, and catalytic converter from muffler assembly (if necessary). Disconnect electrical connectors from speed sensor and back-up light switch. Using Quick Connect Disconnect Tool (J-36221), remove clutch line from concentric slave cylinder quick connect coupling. Remove starter and clutch housing cover. Remove transmission vent hose.

5. Support transmission and engine. Remove crossmember. Remove clutch plate and clutch cover from flywheel. Remove transmission-to-engine bolts and studs. Pull transmission straight back on clutch hub splines. Remove clutch and clutch cover plates during transmission-to-engine separation. Remove transmission.

Two ways. One is to remove the body bolts and jack the body up a bit in front. The second is to remove the trans cross member and then remove the engine mounts to drop the engine down. Then there is also the way I use. Long extensions and crows foot wrenches.

Disconnect negative battery cable. Shift transmission into 3rd or 4th gear. Remove shift lever knob and nut. Remove shift lever retainer screws and retainer (if equipped). Remove shift lever boot mounting screws and boot. Remove shift lever and nut.
Remove exposed bolts on base of housing. DO NOT remove bolts under rubber boot at top of housing. Remove shift lever housing. Raise and support vehicle. Drain transmission fluid. Remove parking brake cable for clearance. Mark drive shaft(s) for reassembly reference. Remove drive shaft(s).
Disconnect electrical connectors from speed sensor and back-up switch. On all models, disconnect exhaust pipe from exhaust manifold. Remove catalytic converter and hanger. If equipped, remove right and left side transfer case-to-transmission braces. On 4WD, place transfer case in 4H position. Remove skid plate. Drain fluid from transfer case. Disconnect vacuum lines and electrical connectors from transfer case (if equipped).
Disconnect shift cable from transfer case. Support transfer case with jack. Remove transfer case-to-transmission mounting bolts. Slide transfer case rearward until free of transmission output shaft. Lower and remove transfer case. Remove and discard gasket. Using Quick Connect Disconnect Tool (J-36221), remove clutch line from concentric slave cylinder quick connect coupling.
Remove clutch housing cover. Remove clutch plate and clutch cover from flywheel. Support transmission. Using a fuel pressure gauge, purge fuel system, and disconnect fuel lines. Remove fuel lines and retainers from rear crossmember. Remove rear crossmember. Move wiring harness away from transmission oil pan.
Lower transmission enough to gain access to top of transmission. Remove wiring harness from front crossmember. Remove engine block ground. Remove transmission mounting bolts as necessary. Pull transmission straight back on clutch hub splines, and remove transmission.

4 to 5 hours of labor
plus you have to add parts
good luck
