1994 Chevy Astro Remove and replace auto trans.

Whats the secret? I can't get the crossmember bolts to break, they are too rusted. And I don't see how the crossmember will come out, it is installed on top of the frame.

I cant get the torque convertor bolts to break free.

Do I have to remove the cross member to get the trans out? If I can get the converter off the flywheel, will the trans drop clear of the crossmember?

I have everything else loose, and the trans is 2 inches separated. Now I know why I am an electrician.
