Thanks guys for the idea's. The one from oreilys had sharper edges to actually grab the bearing and used a snatch block, it made it so much easier. The two bolts up top were not the devil bolts so many people have mentioned on the facebook groups and the tranny went back in like butter!
while I was there i went ahead and changed the U joints and took the starter apart ,cleaned greased and put back together. I was surprised at how well the oem stuff looked at 95k, glad I went back with it and replaced it all.
I also sprayed everything down with this stuff we use at work.
