Kerry,

There should be no difference in any year's arrangement of the transmission
mount to bell housing bolts. You're right that an air ratchet makes the
installation, even of the upper left bolt, much easier. BUT, if someone
removes the step on each side of that area, leaving no room to get up there
with even an air ratchet, R&R of those bolts would become nearly
impossible. Drilling access holes in the step riser behind each of those 3
bolts will make the job much easier in every case, and possible when the
step is modified.
