Hello,

I began the process of removing the transmission (722.435) from my 95 e300d(w124) over the weekend. I am unable to loosen top bolt on the bell cover housing where the tranny is bolted to the engine. This is the hard to get bolt. I was able to loosen the others. I am using a 24in long extension bar and a U joint at the socket. Even with a breaker bar it just wouldn't give. I even doused it with liquid wrench but no luck. I hope it is not lock tited.

Is there any other way to get to this bolt??? I want to avoid pulling both the engine & tranny out together. Please help. Thanks
