Default removing bellhousing bolt

I have 96 camaro 3.8. Im removing my engine and i can not get the last bolt off the bellhousing. It is the bolt at the top of the transmission on the driver side. I remove the itake system and still i cant remove. I got a wrinch on the bolt perfect but its too tight. I even put a hammer to it. PLEASE HELP!!!!!

can you get it from underneath the car with a swivel maybe? or maybe try to slip a pipe over the wrench for more leverage?

jacking the transmission up will tilt the upper bolt to your favor

I had to lower the tranny support so the tranny and motor tilted down and then had to get to it with an extention from the bottom. Couldn't get enough leverage on the wrench from the top with the limited space.

I had to cut a piece of pipe. Just a short piece so you can slip it over the end of the wrench and get a handle and a little more leverage. It is not torqued to tight. Keep at it......

Good idea. Why do I never think of these things!
