Top Driver Side Bell Housing Bolt

Have a 4.6 3v and can't get the top driver side bell housing bolt off for the life of me. I tried everything I could think of. Raised and lowered the transmission a few inches, bought about 25" worth of socket extensions trying to reach it, used a braker bar and an impact gun. Tried from under the car and also from the under the hood. Please let me know if you guys have any tips or information that may direct me in the right direction to get that bolt off. I really appreciate your responses in advance, thank you.

I believe that removing the intake manifold will make it a lot easier to reach that bolt.

I just changed the clutch in my 02 gt had to use med extecion and a swivel and short socket all 1/2 inch drive and long breaker bar. Pass side bold is easyer then drivers bolt. Good luck.
