I have to replace all the freeze out plugs on this engine, to do so it seemed the easiest thing to do would be to remove the engine. I have been fighting with the top 2 bell housing bolts. How do you get to them and what size are they.

I have to remove all of them. The rear head plug blew out as well as the side block plugs. Is there any under the bell housing?

No just on the front and back of head and on side of block ok as for gettng the bolts out your best bet is to get them from under the jeep the top ones ar the hardest but you can get them I have found using a 2-3 foot extention with a swivel works the best
