Pulling the engine from my 2001 Bonnieville. It feels like there is a bolt, transaxle to motor under the rear exhaust manifold. I cant see one let alone reach to feel one. Yes I've even used a lighted mirror.
I'm about ready to grab my 45 and a few mags and start shooting. Any help would be apreciated . Thanks, Mike

its called the b***h bolt. You have to go from the passenger wheel well and use couple feet of extensions.

I see why they call it that. I'm going to have to pull the steering pump all the way out to be able to feed the extensions through.

I spent an hour with my daughter guiding me and couldn't get close. Going to modify a box wrench and remove the egr valve and plumbing and go that way.
I can't see putting an engine back in this POS . So I will probably have a nice 2001 Bonniville bodyfor sale or make it look look Bonnie and Clydes car.

Got the motor out. 1 collapsed lifter and 1really bad rod bearing.
I'm looking for a junk yard motor Portland to Olympia.
I'll get it running and get rid of it, and good riddance.
