Bellhousing bolt removal?
I'm trying to do a motor swap but I can't seem to get a bite on the four bolts on the sides of the tranny. I got the tops ones just fine, well not just fine but I got them. Any suggestions for tools or approach?

Really? theyre the easy ones. Just use a 3/8 drive, a long extension, and a swivel adaptor at the end with the socket. That should do the trick. Also, remember to remove the starter, if you already didnt.

It is usually the other way around,with the top two being the hardest for most people.Just do what 88 WS6 TransAm GTA suggested and you should be good to go.

For me, the two on the driver's side were really tight. I used an offset, open end, turning about 1/2 flat at a time, took forever, couldn't get one of them out completely (had to pull the engine forward slightly while loosening), etc., etc., etc.
