Top bait. The easyout was sarcasm, what car where has enough space to get a drill tip anywhere near a top bellhouse bolt?

How else do you suggest I remove a top bolt I can't see, reach with a spanner or even touch it with my hand? Tripfags, I swear.

I used to put sunglasses on when I drove home from college because of the oncoming headlights.
It was when LED headlights were new and everyone was getting them installed.
