97 Expedition

Helping a friend pull a motor out of a 1997 Expedition. Having a helluva time getting to see the bellhousing bolts. How many are there and how the hell do you get to them? :lol: I've counted four so far but don't know if there are any at the top of the bell (like a c4). Can't see anything. If anyone's done this before I'd appreciate any tips to make this easier.

should be 6-7 holding the bellhousing ,depends on drilling in the trans, to the block and occassionaly 1-2 bolts hold the bellhousing to the oil pan.
