Default Trany removal?

This may be a silly question but how do you remove the torque converter to flywheel bolts on a 2000 S-10 blazer with a V-6? I have not removed many transmissions in my life but there has always been a section of the bell housing that you could gain access to these bolts buy removinga cover. The bell housing on this vehicle appears to be all one piece except for a small section were the starter bolts up.

You have to remove the starter. Patience is key as the starter can really get frustrating.

Remove starter.
Remove both of the plug on the bottom of the torque converter housing.
Look through one of the holes and use the other hole for your pry bar to lcok the flexplate from turning.
Remove the bracket attached to the bellhousing that the starter goes through.
Stick your wrench in the starter hole and unbolt.
PITA but the only way.
