Default Easiest access to bellhousing ground?

What's the easiest way to get at the bellhousing ground, to clean it up?

It's not unreachable from the top of the engine, stand on the passenger side of the car and reach in there, gently push the various wiring harnesses and heater valve out of the way and reach in there with a piece of sandpaper taped in a loop, wrapped around a finger to do the cleaning. Remove the bolt for the ground with a long extension from the driver's side of the car. Stuff the clutch hole with a rag before you start so you don't drop that bolt right into it.

So I should be able to get to it without removing anything else?

pretty much, yea. You may have to take a few clips and various things loose, but you can get to them.

And don't let your socket fall off the end of your extension into the bellhousing!!! BT, DT.

I've found the flexible shaft of my Dremel tool with a wire brush on the end works really well for cleaning the bellhousing around the stud. I usually lay over the driver's side fender for access.
