OK so I am trying to remove my 4R55E transmission from my Ranger. I tried to get it out without taking the Y pipe out but finally gave up. I broke / loosened the bolts on the collars at the exhaust manifold end but am having problems with the studs that go to the catalytic converter (see pictures). The bolts just stripped off so I ground off the one I could get access to with a grinder. I have beat on what is left with a punch and tried an air hammer punch but nothing will break the other end free. Is this thing press fit very hard into the flange on the other side? I tried soaking them in PBlaster for now to see if that will help. I'm also not sure if I have enough room to get access to the upper bolts with a grinder. Thanks for any suggestions.
