need help removing bell housing bolts

I have a 02 Discovery 2 and im doing a motor swap. I cant find a way to get to the bell housing bolts around the top of the motor that hold the motor to the tranny. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

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.

Got RAVE download - it has an overhaul manual section as well.

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.
