I just bought a 2001 Durango 4X4 with a blown 4.7L engine. I am struggeling to get the upper bell housing bolt out on the passanger side....I can barely touch it from the top side because of wiring harnesses and the tranny fill tube and can't see/get to it from the bottom either. I know I am not the only one that has ran up against this so I amlooking for the best way without removing the entire front drive unit.

Any help would be much appreciated.

Thanks,
Tim

Welcome to DF
Try pulling off the intake manifold and see if can remove the bolt.

 

Removing the intake is the way to go!

Thanks!

Engine changed and running with a small problem.....steaming up the windshield and the smell of anti-freeze. By the sounds of it this woun't be a walk in the park! Best I have read say's I don't have to remove the dash only get it up and out of the way?
