96 blazer engine replacement
Sorry for the dumb question but I'm replacing the engine in my blazer and I am having difficulty reaching the top left bell housing to engine bolt. The trans-tunnel is preventing me from getting in there. Is there an easy way to remove this bolt with out removing the engine and transmission as a whole? Can I just lower the transmission to gain clearance? Any imput would be very helpful as it is the only thing holding this project up.

Usually an 18"-24" extension works on Bell housing bolts.

Re: 96 blazer engine replacement
It can be reached from the top with a box end wrench. If you remove the intake first.
Another way is to drill through the floor board from inside. The bolt is directly behind the gas pedal. Measure 3 times, drill once. If you first drill with a small bit, you can see if you are in right spot before making it bigger.

Re: 96 blazer engine replacement
That one usually is a piece of cake older Blazers and S-10 are the hard ones.
If all else fails you can do it like a ford. http://flatratetech.com/images/nav_how_to.htm MT
