95 2.2l exhaust flange bolt inaccessible
Hi everyone,
I'm new here and still getting a feel for navigation on this site. Bear with me, please.
I have to pull my manual transmission from my 95 s10 with a 2.2l. In the way is the downpipe, connected to the exhaust manifold. I got one of the spring-backed bolts, but the other one is blocked by the frame, downpipe, and various other parts. After searching the 'net for hours, I still haven't found a way to reach that one bolt.
Has anyone had this issue? Is there a special tool? I'm at a hold up point and starting to reach "hurry up" mode... I referred to a Chilton manual, and all it shows is the easy bolt... they neglected showing the difficult one...
Any help is GREATLY appreciated.
Thanks in advance,
Steve

Would it back up into the frame if you did remove?
It sounds like a socket isn't going to work? Can you get a regular wrench on it?
Are your motor mounts bad and it's sagging on that side? Can you jack up that side any to move it some? I wouldn't recommend jacking on the oil pan - that won't hold up and you'll be more screwed.
Can you get a cherry picker on the top to lift it any? Maybe you a leveler to rotate it slightly?
