tranaxle removal and motor mounts

Guest

I'm getting my car ready to pull the transaxle to replace the clutch, and related parts, so I'm loosening all the bolts in preparation of the actual pull.

However, I understand that you must tilt the back of the transaxle up to clear the tabs on the rear transaxle mounts. I read that the motor mounts must be "loosened" in order to tilt the engine and transaxle assembly to get the transaxle out. Can I do this by loosening the three large bolts on the bottom of the frame that hold the motor mounts to the frame? How loose do they need to be? Should I loosen them only to the point the nuts are still on the bolts?

Any advice is appreciated.

Thanks.
