Removal Of Engine

[matthew0786]

ok, im in the process of removing my engine and i am stuck on the top 2 bellhousing bolts. A mechanic told me that i don't need to remove the gearbox in order for the engine to come out. So now everything is done except for those 2 bolts. How on earth do i get these bolts off. i searched and Can i lower the gearbox to tilt the engine with the tailshaft still connected? Or does the tailshaft have to come off

Car is R33 GTS-T

Please help!

Leave the gearbox connected, and when you lift the motor up and out the tail shaft will slide out of the gearbox.

Obviously you have to take the gear stick out of the gear box first
