| I'm helping a friend remove the engine from his 78 firebird. Everything is out except for removing the bellhousing bolts. What's the best way to get to these? |

Auto trans?
To get good access to the bell housing bolts you should drop the rear of the trans as low as you can by removing the cross-member (if possible) and/or the trans mount. Lifting the front of the motor -slightly- under the harmonic balancer will help tilt the trans down in the rear. Then use a very long 3 1/2 foot extension and a swivel socket. |
