Any tips or tricks on removing the top 2 tranny bolts??

[BajaBilly]

I have a 91 X with the 4.0 and the automatic trans and I'm pulling the engine, or trying to.
I have every trans to engine block bolt undone other that the top 2.
I am having one heck of a time trying to get to them to get them loose.

Anyone have any tricks or tips on a way to get the top 2 bolts out of there?

Thanx!!

Unbolt the transmission from the cross member under the truck and jack the tail of the tranny up as high as it will go (this will give you an extra inch or two between the firewall and the rear of the engine), then go at it from the engine compartment with a set of flat wrenches. Offset wrenches will help even more if you have them.

OK, I'll give it a shot.

Thanx for the help!!

Long extension 2ft and a couple of swivel joints, also, small hands help, a lot
