Hi again Sergeant. I am sorry to hear that but I am not surprised that you are still at it. Can't keep a good Army man down.
There are no tricks for these top bolts. It is pretty common that the only real way to get them is to use a 3 foot extension and 1/2 inch impact wrench with a swivel socket on the end of it.
Take a look at the attachments. This is the process from the manual but the last couple pages show what I am talking about.
If you look where I show the red lines. This is the extension and basically you can use the swivel sockets to get a better angle at it and remove the bolts. This bets the heck out of trying to reach up there with a ratchet.
Just make sure you have a floor jack under the trans with a strap around the top of it so it doesn't slip.
Please run through this material and let me know what questions you have and we can go from there. Thanks
