I saw the pic of Eric T's set up of extensions and swivels. I can make that, but I cant even see where the bolts are at to get to them.

Have you read section on engine removal in the shop manual? It tells you how to get to them.

if i remember correctly you pull out the motor mounts and the engine will drop enough to get to bolts from the top with a box wrench, of course a ratching box would be quicker.

Yup, that's basically what the manual says. I just like to teach people to fish.
