thre is a final bolt at the back side of the tranny, you have to use about 2 feet of extensions to get to it. its an 18mm also.

what is the genral area do I need to take the tire off to see it. Was looking over the haynes manual again it says something about a tranny to engine brace on right side by oil pan.

well there is that too, you need to take the passenger side tire off to see the area, then you have to take that bracket off, goes front he differential cover with two bolts to the block with two bolts, take it out then directly behind that you can see the last bellhousing bolt with a light, you will need about 2 feet of extensions to get to it

thanks for the help got the engine out. My 12 yr old girl had a blast operating the hoist to raise the engine. I would of never found the bolt without all your help. so how do you get it back in without dropping the bolt or cross threading it.
Every engineer should have to take apart what they design this one must of been smokin crack when he came up with the hidden bolt.

to get it back in... take some duct tape and wad it up in the socket so it sticks to it so you can feed it back into the hole, then start it by hand with those extensions, you will be good to go.

FWIW, a lot of people don't even put it back in at all.

ehh i dont care, just put the bolt back in, its there for a reason. besides, work at a dealership and do that, when it comes back for a problem ,
06-28-2009
Just saying there are a lot of them out there like that. I wouldn't necessarily recommend it, but really, you've got the diff bracket on that side, what's that bolt really doing?

It's not hidden to GM's engineers because they know it's there. So would techs at GM dealerships because the GM SI manual says exactly where it is. They also have specially designed tools for that purpose.Every engineer should have to take apart what they design this one must of been smokin crack when he came up with the hidden bolt.

i put my ***** bolt back in, but its cross threaded like a mofo so when i (or the next owner) have to take it out again its gonna either break or strip out.
