yeah, got those two lower bolts and it "lowered". got past all that now just having trouble getting the front seal out of the cover. when hammered/screwdriver it just cuts the little inside rubber lip.

now, i have never tried to do it this way, but, have you tried to loose the engine mounts and transmission mounts and jack the engine up as much as you need... say like with a piece of 2x4 on the transmission bell housing.
