Default Engine Removal

Can some one tell me how to remove the top right hand transmission to engine bolt on a 2001 Durango with a 4.7L? I can barely touch the bolt head from the top and can't even see it from underneath. The left side wasn't a picinic but this one is the only thing between me and insanity.

Any trick/help would be much appreciated!

Tim

have you removed the intake yet? you will want the intake off to get the engine out. with intake off you need a wrench to reach it from above, you may need to double up the wrench length to get enough torque on it. put the closed end of wrench on bolt, when use the closed end of another wrench to fit ino the open end of first wrench to link them together, if you dont know how to do this once you figure it out you will find it helpfull in the future for lots of other stuff you do.
