bellhousing bolt size....
Could someone tell me what size socket I need to fit the bellhousing bolts on a 1989 yota 4x4. I read here that I needed a wobble socket to fit the top two bellhousing bolts. I'm going to tackle installing a new clutch next week ,so I am rounding up the tools i need..... any tips to make it easier ?

17mm 14mm 12mm ites very easy to drop the tranny with the crossmember with a jack and go for the top two bolts that way

jack the front up and you can get to the top two bellhousing bolts with a box end wrench and a cheater pipe or shear muscle power through the wheel wells. if you have a really long extension and a swivel socket or a knuckle you can come from underneath by the transmission or you can do it the really difficult way from above with the hood off in between the back of the head and the firewall. i find it very easy to get to from the wheel wells. a flash light and a close look and you can find them from there.

Assuming a W56 trans...
I use the LONGEST Craftsman 1/2 drive extension bar (24"?) and and go through the tranny tunnel. This is after the tranny cross member is removed and the trans tipped back a smidge.
The ribs on the bell housing guide the socket on to the bolt
17mm or 19mm - I ferget which.
Do NOT try this with a 3/8 extension bar - or you will discover how Torsion Bar springs work
BTW - this is also how I FILL the trans - mucho easier to go via the stick shift hole. On the later models with the forward shifter - you cant fill the transfer case this way tho...

I second dropping the tranny a little bit. Made my life a whole lot easier.
Also, if you have an air ratchet, it will save you a ton of time. There is a good 1 1/4" of thread on those bolts, and it's a pain with a regular ratchet.

on an '89-95 truck i can get the top 2 bolts with a shorty 17mm wrench. much easier than playing the socket/extension game, at least for me. hardest part is if everything's original, it takes a LOT of force to bust them loose.

Are there 8 bolts in total? Does the top starter bolt count? I'm working on an 83 and assuming its the same. I see two bolts on the bottom and the two on top and the starter bolt that I already removed... thanks for the help!
