Go to autozone and get their flywheel tool, it works better than any other I've used. It's like a flat bar, maybe 1/4" thick with a rubber handle, and has a small metal block on top and a larger (maybe 3x) block on bottom. Plenty of torque, no slip... beats a screw driver or using the bolts themselves to turn it...
I can post a pic if ya need it.
Pretty cheap, too.
I'm sure you got all the plugs out?!

I think what you are going to have to do is remove the engine and trans as an assembly. Then you can separate the two leaving the converter attached to the engine. At which point you should be able to get to the bolts. I have seen this done with dropping the whole assembly through the bottom of the car. It is a lot of work but I think it might be your only choice. Vince
