OE03 EWW 3.2 petrol manual saloon
Clutch replacement job. I am at the point where I wish to remove all the bellhousing bolts. There are three 19mm bolts at the top to which I have no access. Is it in order to lower the gearbox mounting to gain access to them?

There is access to reach up. Did Als easy enough.

Use the force terry,you can do it ;D

Long time ago now but I think I used 3 wobble bar extensions draped across the bellhousing to reach the socket from underneath the car.

Yes sorry that wasn't very helpful.
As Andy says, withe extensions, and reaching up for a hug. Its tight, but doable. :)

Simple answer - yes (but check that the engine doesn't lean too far back & strain hoses and electrickery)
With the downpipes still attached it probably won't help much though because the exhaust system will prevent the engine from moving far.

Exhaust is removed. I can feel two (19mm?) bolts heads, the third seems to be near the oil cooler pipes. Thanks to all for advice, I will try again.
