Removing Bellhousing Bolts

I have got every bellhousing belt except for the one on the top passenger side out, does anyone have any tips on how to reach that one? I have taken the exhaust off so only the manifold is left and I can see the bolt from under the car but can’t really reach it. Thanks.

I use a very long 3/8" drive extension with either a flex socket or universal joint and socket. I think my extension is either 24" or 30" inches long. Works every time.

If it's an N/A, after I took my upper intake off i could get at it with a wrench.

I’m putting mine in but it’s the same thing just backwards, take the upper intake off, it should look something like this…

then take that wrench there and put it down in on the bolt, it’s mostly all by feel unless you want to have someone watch from the bottom, might take a pipe to break it loose. That’s just how I did it, my hands aren’t really huge but I guess you could use a longer wrench.
