I just bout a 95 mark viii and the trans. is all jacked up. So, pullin it out last night, and the bellhousing bolts were so freakin tight it was all i could do to get the bottom ones out. But the top two....cant get them out to save my life? The headers are right in the way to begin with, but even if i take them off....If i take the intake off, would there be room to get them from the top? If not, im just gonna pull the motor i suppose. Has anyone had a problem with the bolts being overtightend in the block>?

The can be tight....

You can pull the wiper cowl and use a wrench on the top ones.... Make sure you undo the converter bolts first and that you have something supporting the weight of the trans...

I dont know if this will help. I have always in the past lowered the back of the trans by unbolting the cross member and use a 3 foot extention to get the top bolts with a snap on swivel socket. 1/2 impact should do the job. Lowering the back of the trans is the key. Good luck
