RE: Blazer question.please help
Yes the bellhousing bolts are a good time, the top 2 arent that bad like you said just get yourself a 14mm ratchet wrench for those 2 its the 2 directly below the top 2 that really start to get fun, I chose to lower the rear of the transmission as far as it would go to access the drivers side and for the other side I used about 5 wabble extensions and alot of patience lol, then once you get the top 2 and the 2 directly below those all the bottom ones are easy to access from under the truck.
You will need to remove the starter to access the 3 fly wheel bolts to the torque converter, I had someone manually crank the engine over while I was under the truck to ligne each bolt up in the starter hole and use a big screw driver in the flywheel teeth to hold the engine while I broke each of the 3 bolts loose. Then its a matter of removing all the wires and grounds connected to the engine and the exhaust Y pipe, I left the exhaust manifolds on and it came out pretty easy.
If you have anyother questions feel free to ask I will be doning this again this weekend unfortunatley but this time I am using a new engine
Good luck and be patient
