me again, that last bolt stuck on my bell housing, is it possible to use the beeswax and or heating method to get the bolt out?
 
Is it one of the top bolts? If so put the two dowel bolts back in and take them out last. If the top bolts are taken out last it can put the engine in trans in a bind that makes the bolts tighter.
 
Madawaska? I used to know a guy from there. . Adsm's advice is what I would too. :D
 
When pulling trans start at the top and work your way down gravity is your friend on the other side there not to bad to get a broke bolt out once the trans is out of the way
 
My Mom is from Madawaska, also I agree. Start from the top and work your way down. Always works for me!
 
Honestly, on the Rangers, the top two bell bolts are the first thing I take out when starting to remove the trans. I get them from up top with a wrench, and then put them back in with the rest of the bell bolts.
