This was a pain in my A$$ !! Took me 4 hours to try and do it the way everyone on Youtube said to do it by taking off the starter and the bracket below the starter which connects the bell housing to the engine . Well I have rear wheel drive so my truck isnt 4x4 and the motor mounts sit different so the motor mounts were right on top of the last bolt on the bracket and it wouldn't come out. So my only option was lock jaw needle nose pliers . Take a look and you'll see it worked !!
