GM 2.4L H60FT Engine Removal

Hi everyone! I am attempting to remove the engine out of a 2006 Hyster H60FT with a 2.4L GM engine. I removed the cover on the top of the bell housing as well as the starter to have access to the flywheel bolts. There does not appear to be any way to get to the flywheel bolts from the top of the bell housing and there is not enough clearance for the bolt to be removed from the hole left from the starter removal. I read the service manual and it has very little info for the GM engine as most of the references it makes pertain to the models equipped with a Mazda or Yanmar engine. Is there an access port somewhere else that would allow me to remove the flywheel bolt so I can separate it from the torque converter? Or do I have to remove the trans and engine together? If anyone has any experience with this engine I would be very grateful for your help. Thanks! Garrett
